New Changes, Steady Development
Moreover, as a higher-level clone projection, it is also extremely difficult to kill.
Left with no other choice, the several Transcendent Tier or higher clones in the galaxy had to devote some of their energy to keeping a close watch on their movements.
As for the increasingly chaotic situation in the galactic universe, the original Galactic Transcendent Council is finding it increasingly difficult to govern.
After that, Wang An piloted the Heavenly River to a space 100 light-years away from the Solar System, where he deployed a large number of large-scale probes as an early warning system to avoid potential disasters to other civilizations.
Although he also possesses the Divine Ability to observe Qi Destiny, he cannot provide feedback on every High Tier event.
Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, we have entered the new era 76 years ago.
Three years after the First Battle Group entered the Proxima Centauri System, the Human Federation had made some progress in its research on the green-skinned orcs.
The biggest change is that the technology for powered weapons has been completely mastered and mass production has been achieved.
However, when such purely technological weapons are used by cultivators and martial artists, the extraordinary energy they unleash inevitably affects the stable operation of conventional Lifa.
Therefore, based on this, the Beginner Transcendent Stage beings who focused on research specifically developed the [True Radiance, True Qi Decomposition] series of extraordinary power weapons—powered swords and powered staffs—more suitable for martial artists and cultivators.
Corresponding force field shields and force field bombs are also under development.
While these powered weapons cannot destroy the extraordinary and permanent defensive force field of extraordinary life forms, they have the same or even greater cutting and destructive effect on green-skinned orcs wearing power armor.
As for power armor, the Human Federation has already figured out a technological route that suits its own needs, Starry Sky Series Spirit Plant Mecha.
Although plant-based mechs below the Qi Refining level currently have many shortcomings compared to conventional power armor made of extraordinary metals, the superior performance of First Tier plant-based mechs has given many researchers great confidence.
These plant-based mechs, nourished by vital energy, are undoubtedly more suitable for combat involving extraordinary life forms within the broader framework of vital energy.
Above Proxima Centauri 6 Planet, Wang An piloted the Heavenly Harmony slowly emerging from the Dark Universe.
Relying on the nine [Supreme Yin Heavenly Moonlight Lamp] probes currently scattered throughout the Proxima Centauri System, the Heavenly River can quickly pinpoint its location. When it's no longer necessary to deploy similar probes, it can calculate its approximate location and then move from outside the planetary system into the interior of the planet to avoid colliding with internal stars and planets when emerging from the Dark Universe.
Wang An looked at the star map of the Solar System within a range of 100 light-years projected by Spirit Radiance, which marked low- and Middle Tier civilizations of varying sizes.
His gains this time were not only in detecting and deploying probes, or in ascertaining the strength and distribution of nearby civilizations, but also in discovering another layer of danger in the Milky Way: the Chaos emotional energy that is constantly dissipating from the Great Void into the Dark Universe is gradually eroding the low- to mid-level civilizations that have no ability to resist its erosion.
The emotions of war, Tzeentch, plague, and lust represented by Khorne, Nurgle, and Slaanesh gradually spread in these civilizations, leading to a gradual imbalance in the stability of their internal regimes and social order.
Although most Middle Tier civilizations have already noticed this, unless they have special countermeasures, or powerful beings with cultivation and life level of Middle Tier three or above who have mastered the mysteries of the laws and can refine corresponding law treasures, they can only try to cleanse the social atmosphere by further implementing more policies and strengthening the fairness of the law.
At that moment, Chen Tianping's communication request came through, Spirit Radiance accepted it without hesitation.
At this time, he had already been appointed by Wang An as the governor of the Proxima Centauri System, overseeing three major powers: colonization and development, research on orcs, and training of warbands.
He reported to Wang An, "Master, since the First Battle Group entered the Proxima Centauri System, colonization activities have been carried out on a small scale. We have now developed an interstellar city of 100,000 people on Proxima Centauri Planet 1, which is sufficient to support the daily weapon resupply and training needs of the 30,000 Legion members stationed there."
Although eight years have passed since the call to arms was issued, due to preparations for a possible war in recent years, the only way to attract the new generation to settle and colonize the Proxima Centauri System is through some welfare policies.
Compared to the more than 9 billion people living in the extraordinary interstellar cities on Blue Star, plus the billions of people on Venus and Mars, it all seems rather insignificant.
"Currently, the first five planets in the Proxima Centauri System have completed basic ecological transformation and are able to support life activities at level 5 and above. In addition to the extraordinary industries that require the participation of human cultivators, several spiritual plant and herb plantations, spiritual beast ranches, and extraordinary ore mining sites have been built."
Benefiting from the development of new extraordinary ecological spaces, 10 new extraordinary beings have been promoted to the rank of extraordinary beings to date.
"Regarding the construction of our battle group, limited by our own technology and production capacity, we have only been able to add four Tier First-Tier High Grade extraordinary interstellar destroyers so far. As for Tier 2 low-grade battleships, it would be difficult for us to complete them with our current technology and industrial capabilities."
"Research on the green-skinned orcs has reached its initial stages. Experimental deployment of extraordinary powered weapons has been completed, and the design of the Starry Sky Type 2 Spirit Plant Mecha has been finalized..."
Wang An was well aware of this situation. His own Heavenly River was only finally completed after he reached the Purple Mansion Realm and gathered several Middle Tier experts from the three types of human races.
For Initial Tier life form to create Second Tier extraordinary artifact, it would be impossible unless it had Initial Tier level 3 Mechanical Modification System. Otherwise, the internal core energy furnace alone is equivalent to the energy core of a Middle Tier being, which is naturally beyond the capabilities of Initial Tier life form.
Wang An nodded, then said, "Well done."
He then made further arrangements. "The pace of immigration is too slow. At this sluggish pace, it will take hundreds of years just to fill the star systems surrounding our Solar System and form a three-dimensional defense network."
"Let's start the artificial womb breeding program first."
"We don't have that much time to wait for everyone to gradually migrate to different planetary systems. You and Spirit Radiance need to discuss a reasonable policy on this matter and implement it as soon as possible."
"After this, each new planetary system we conquer will require at least a million immigrants to maintain its operation. As for defense, I will forge a batch of Middle Tier magical artifacts to guard the new colonies."
After arranging these matters, Wang An assigned tasks to his disciples who were stationed in the Solar System.
"You guys, quickly form the second and Third Battle Group. We need to speed things up."
The battle group was still led by a few disciples.
He has now ascertained the distribution of forces in the vicinity. Within this hundred light-years, apart from two Middle Tier civilizations spanning more than a dozen star systems, the rest are a dozen or so Initial Tier civilizations still trapped in a single star system.
