Super God: Guardians of the Galaxy, another year of competing in the galaxy

Chapter 54: Living Space Limitations
For a hegemonic civilization, possessing unlimited energy and resources is the basis for their dominance over the world.

For such a civilization, they have very few weaknesses.

Just like the current "Human Federation" and "Eternal Empire".

When neither side has an overwhelming advantage over the enemy in terms of energy, resources, technology, etc.

In this case, how can the two civilizations determine the winner of this war?

It's very simple. Both sides can only move down one dimension and destroy each other's civilization in terms of living space.

Whether it is the "Human Federation" or the "Eternal Empire", the only flaw that currently limits both civilizations is their living space.

Even if one has almost unlimited resources and energy at one's disposal, it cannot change the fact that the living space occupied by both civilizations is currently within a recognizable range that can be specifically measured.

Living space can be directly regarded as all the territorial scope controlled by the other civilization.

Want to destroy the living space of the other civilization.

The most direct way is to invade every territory of the other civilization and slaughter every sustainable population of the other side, so as to establish an absolute dominant advantage in this war.

The endless exchange of cross-galaxy weapons between the two sides is also a form of warfare based on this concept of war.

Logically speaking.

Next, in this war, the Federation should send a fleet to proactively attack the territory of the "Eternal Empire" in order to destroy this ancient civilization as soon as possible.

But for now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Although the "Eternal Empire" has decayed, its territory is larger than that of the "Human Federation".

Even though it has been in self-isolation for too long, the war potential that this civilization can unleash is still generally higher than that of the Federation.

Within the territory of the Eternal Empire, many decaying megastructures are being rapidly repaired.

Once these mega-weapons are repaired, the Federation will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the inter-galactic weapons confrontation.

A single move can affect the whole body.

If the Federation's fleet fails to quickly capture all the star fields of the opposing civilization in the subsequent fleet confrontation, then the Federation will definitely be at an absolute disadvantage in this war.

The current Federation's main battleship fleet, based on the estimated overall numbers, is not yet able to fight against the "Eternal Empire" while advancing according to the strategic plan with great momentum to capture most of the other civilization's territory.

There are currently estimated to be tens of billions of star systems within the territory of the "Eternal Empire".

The Federation currently occupies only a few million star systems, has a main battleship fleet of no more than 100, and the number of "Falling Star Spears" is no more than 50,000!

This is a war in which small wins big.

Although the Federation is currently urgently building more intergalactic strike weapons, it is also making every effort to produce more main battleship groups led by star system battleships.

However, the speed of building new weapons and new warships cannot match the speed at which the "Eternal Empire" repairs the decaying megastructures within the other's territory.

Ultimately, it is because the Federation’s starting point in this universe is too low and its development time is too short.

After experiencing a sudden leap in development over a period of "ten years", the overall strength of the Federation has skyrocketed.

But facing a behemoth like the "Eternal Empire," it still seemed somewhat weak. The expansion from the original 500 galaxies to its current size in just a dozen years was an unimaginable miracle for the vast majority of known civilizations.

But no matter how great the miracle is, we cannot be proud and complacent. Faced with the current situation, on the United Star, under the leadership of Grey Wind and Sidra, personnel from various departments are intensively carrying out work planning.

The war broke out so suddenly that even the "Galactic Crusade" was affected to a certain extent.

All dispatched warships have already been urgently assembled within the federal territory.

The entire Milky Way will subsequently become the main battlefield between the two super civilizations. Once the warships dispatched are locked by the "Eternal Empire", they will definitely be subjected to indiscriminate attacks by cross-galaxy strike weapons.

Only a large number of unmanned engineering ships were dispatched to continuously accelerate the construction of star space stations in those unowned galaxies within the Milky Way in order to expand the territory of the Federation.

These unmanned engineering ships are cheap to build and have very low strategic costs, so even if they are surrounded, there is no need to worry too much about these insignificant losses.

If the Eternal Empire deploys intergalactic strike weapons or even deploys fleets to wipe it out, it would mean that the other civilization's strategic deployment unit is a complete idiot.

On the star map system, every star field in the entire Milky Way seemed to be about to burn in the next second.

Simply comparing the territorial boundaries, the Federation is at a huge disadvantage.

However, Gray Wind and Sidra, who are currently making war deployments in the Federation, and officials from other departments were not panicked at all.

"There are hundreds of war plans currently available. We'll only select the most practical one for deployment: the swift completion of the 'Pan-Galaxy Cluster Planning and Adjustment System'!"

"Once the Pan-Cluster Planning and Adjustment System is complete, every star system within the entire galaxy cluster will become a war asset for the Federation. We will immediately possess the formidable power to crush the Eternal Empire!"

"But completing the 'Pan-Cluster Planning and Adjustment System' requires a significant amount of time to organize various resources..."

"So we have to activate the 'Spacetime Acceleration Protocol Device' once again to buy enough time... and according to the original budget of the 'Pan-Cluster Planning and Adjustment System', conservatively speaking, we'll need to activate the 'Spacetime Acceleration Protocol Device' four more times..."

Xidra looked at Huifeng, although Chen Yu had given her and Huifeng the greatest power to lead all affairs of the Federation before entering the "dream state".

However, only Grey Wind can make an independent decision on activating the "Space-Time Acceleration Protocol Device."

Huifeng's gaze turned towards the figure in the office who was placed on the "maintenance device" and entered the "dream state".

In the "dream state", Chen Yu's opportunities to communicate with the outside world became extremely rare. Even with the stability of the "maintenance device", the number of times his main consciousness could respond to external interference was slowly decreasing.

It has been less than a year since the last activation of the "Space-Time Acceleration Protocol Device".

If I were to activate the "Space-Time Acceleration Protocol Device" again, I would even have to do it continuously...

After experiencing a time and space leap of more than 40 years, Chen Yu's "dreamy state" is likely to become more serious. No one can predict to what extent it will become.

The only thing Huifeng knew was that Chen Yu's "dream state" was closely related to the construction of the ether phase engine.

This forty-year leap passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, the construction of the ether engine will probably be completed in an instant. By then, no one knows what the future of the entire federation will be.

Gray Wind was hesitating whether to issue the order to activate the "Space-Time Acceleration Protocol Device" when the figure on the "Maintenance Device" sent a will through psychic connection:
"No problem, just go ahead and do it."
