There was no expression on Fermat's face, but a fire of anger burned in his heart.

Unexpectedly, as the commander of one of the main fleets of the cruising fleet, he had been fighting in many galaxies in the Cygnus Arm for many years, but he never expected that he would be 'teased' by a primitive civilization.

But what concerned him a little was, why did a primitive civilization have anti-matter weapons? This was an advanced weapon that not even the Cygnus civilization had developed.

Could it be that the other party obtained some technological products of advanced civilization, or even a technological library?

When he thought of this, Fermat couldn't sit still.

He looked at Qiong and said: "This news came from the base camp in the name of the new chairman of the cruise fleet. Is it possible that it is a trap?"

Qiong was stunned for a moment, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean, Commander?"

"Before, Demigod used self-sacrifice to break away from the connection with the cruising fleet. Even if the base camp is really completely destroyed by an unknown force, the new speaker of the ascended parliament may not be able to

He was so kind, maybe he just wanted us to be buried with him."

Since Demigod was dismissed, the person who served as the new Speaker was no longer a member of Kasakuk's Ascendants, so Ferma had such an idea.

And this is not impossible. After all, for the Cygnus civilization, these vassal races are just tools. Now that it can't even take care of its own safety, will it still 'help' them out of danger?

"Then the Commander-in-Chief means that we won't go to Centaur Alpha?"

Qiong asked carefully.

"Go, of course we have to go. Now we have become a wandering civilization, just like a rootless tree. To maintain supplies for such a large fleet, we must occupy a habitable planet before we can make a comeback."

"However, in order to avoid accidents, we must first conduct an in-depth exploration of the other party's civilization from a safe distance. Only after we obtain a firm conclusion can we decide what to do next."

Fermat stood up and looked out the window at the boundless darkness and said.

"What you said, Commander, is absolutely correct. I will make arrangements right away."

"Go ahead."

…

This side of the solar system.

One year has passed since the return of Ferma's main fleet was discovered.

Under Luo Xiu's series of orders, the three major civilizations began to prepare for war with all their strength.

Of course, the most important task is to produce Qinhuang class battleships, which will be the main force in this battle.

However, in this year, with the integration of the military technologies of the three civilizations, starship humans have made breakthrough progress in their research on strong interaction materials.

While Luo Xiu was observing the progress of the experiments on the synthetic ascension of people from Planet B on Centaur B, his quantum communication device lit up.

The control system immediately reminded: "Sir Commander, there is important communication coming from the starship. Do you want to answer it now?"

"Wait a minute, Gou Wen, save the test video here. I'll look at it later."

Luo Xiu confessed to Gou Wen, then walked to a room prepared for him alone before turning on the communication device.

Xue He's excited expression immediately came over the communication device.

"Sir Commander, good news. The latest strong interaction material has made breakthrough progress. Various strength tests have been completed. The data shows that it is much superior to the materials we use to build all warships now. This is the data.

"

After Xue He finished speaking, he passed the documents over.

Luo Xiu took a brief look and his eyes lit up.

Judging from the data, the strength of the latest strong interaction materials can be said to be several times higher than the materials they originally used to make warships.

But this is understandable. After all, strong interaction materials are formed by the combination of atomic-level forces, and the gaps between atoms are hundreds of times smaller than traditional materials.

According to the data in Luo Xiu's hands, even anti-matter weapons may not be able to destroy it.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed through Luo Xiu's mind.

"Xue He, this research result is very important. It can be said that it will change the mode of war in the future. You are now adding two research projects. One is to start manufacturing warships using this strong interaction material. I want to see the design drawings. The second is to start

Develop antimatter thrusters.”

Luo Xiu said directly.

"Commander, I can understand your thoughts, but, but..."

"But what?" Luo Xiu saw Xue He's hesitant look and was immediately dissatisfied.

"But the latest strong interaction materials can only be produced in research laboratories, and there is still a long way to go before they are put into production. As for antimatter thrusters, I am afraid that there is currently no material that can withstand its destructive power."

Xue He said with a wry smile.

Luo Xiu waved the materials in his hand and said: "Isn't the answer right here? Judging from the data, the improved strong interaction materials are extremely strong and are extremely suitable for developing antimatter thrusters."

"As for the mass production of strong interaction materials, that is the work of your scientific research department. Blue Star and Starship will fully cooperate with you."

"Yes, what about Proxima Centauri b civilization?" Xue He thought Luo Xiu had forgotten, and immediately reminded him.

"This research project is keeping them secret for now."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he hung up the communication directly.

Although the results of strong interaction materials were obtained from the Alpha Centaur civilization, they were originally used to deal with the three-day volley and did not develop in a militarized direction at all.

However, the research background of Centaur Alpha civilization in this area is not something that Blue Star and Starship civilization can catch up with in a short period of time.

Luo Xiu did not want to hand over this great weapon that determined the future destiny of the race into the hands of a civilization that could not be fully trusted.

He thought about it again in the room. If the latest version of the strong mutual material is really energy-producible, then the warships manufactured accordingly can also reach a certain scale in the remaining nine years.

Then should we tilt the resources originally used to produce Qinhuang-class battleships in this direction? This issue needs to be simulated carefully.

Even if a warship made of strong mutual materials is very powerful, if it cannot achieve scale, it will not be able to affect the battle situation.

With this thought in mind, Luo Xiu wore exoskeleton armor and walked to the laboratory where Gou Wen was. At this time, Gou Wen was still outside the laboratory recording the experimental process of Centaur B.

In the laboratory, a Planet B man was seen on the operating table. Under the operation of dozens of precision instruments, his original earthy yellow skin had turned into an almost transparent color.

"This is?" Luo Xiu looked at this scene with some surprise.

"This is the result of the reorganization of cell genes. The cells have become more adaptable to the environment. Combined with the unique physique of these B-Star people, they can completely withstand the next round of three-day volley, and their expected life span has also increased.

The original only fifty years has been extended to two hundred years." Gou Wen explained.

Gou Wen, who has mechanically ascended, is already very good at controlling data. These experimental data are as if they are engraved in his mind, and there is no need to read the data at all.

Luo Xiu nodded and said: "It turns out that the members of the Proxima b civilization have such a special physique, but their life span is much shorter than that of the Blue Star people. Is this all caused by their physique?"

Gou Wen nodded, agreeing with Luo Xiu's statement.

Luo Xiu patted his robotic arm, and then whispered to him: "Remember to save part of the genetic samples of all Planet B people before they are completely transformed. This may be helpful for our future genetic ascension."

Gou Wen glanced at Luo Xiu with his mechanical eyes, and then nodded.

Although he had lost a lot of human emotions after becoming a mechanical ascendant, at this moment, he still felt a sense of regret.

As for what he regretted, he couldn't remember.

After leaving the laboratory, Luo Xiu had a brief meeting with the speaker and congressmen of Centaur B, then inspected several military bases producing Qinhuang-class battleships, and immediately used the jump ring to return to the solar system.

With Gou Wen collecting data on Alpha Centauri, he no longer has to waste his energy on this.

In addition to the construction of ships and the defense of Alpha Centauri, he now wants to see warships made of new strong interaction materials.

So as soon as he returned to the solar system, Luo Xiu went directly to the Starship Research Institute.

As soon as he entered the main research room, he saw a three-dimensional head-shaped projection in the laboratory slowly rotating in mid-air.

It looks like a football enlarged ten times, only five meters long and three meters wide at its widest point.

What is different from ordinary machinery is that its surface is extremely smooth, as if it is coated with a layer of mercury to form a reflective mirror.

Luo Xiu believes that if it flies in space, it may not be far enough away and existing detection methods will not be able to detect it.

"Commander, you are here. This is the design of the battleship with strong interaction materials that we designed."

Xue He, who returned to the solar system with Luo Xiu, pointed at the 'football' and said.

"With a ship like this, the endurance problem should be huge, right?" Luo Xiu said with a frown.

It's not surprising that he thinks so. After all, the shells of traditional cannons are only one circle thinner than this, and some people believe that it is a space torpedo.

Upon hearing this, Xue He smiled slightly and said: "Commander, there is nothing we can do about this. If we add more materials, this warship will be too heavy. After our calculations, even with an anti-matter engine, it cannot support its endurance."

Too long."

"Too heavy?"

When Luo Xiu heard this, he immediately realized the problem.

Yes, according to data from research materials, strongly interacting materials increase the strength of the material by compressing the gaps between atoms.

So although the same volume of strongly interacting material is stronger, it also has greater mass.

He had ignored this question before, "What about combat performance? Has it been tested?"

Faced with Luo Xiu's question, Xue He responded directly, "Commander, let us explain the situation through the test results."
