The Xassar Sector was too far away from the Boötes Constellation, where the Zerg's microcosm was located. It took Lin Yu an entire month to travel from the periphery of the Boötes Constellation to the center of the Boötes Constellation.
No, there was no such problem.
Back then, Lin Yu had to search for anomalies, so he could only use hyperspace travel to move forward bit by bit.
Now, there was no need for that at all. A stargate would solve the problem. Even if it was a distance of hundreds of millions of light-years, it would only take 77 minutes.
After Lin Yu set off, Lin Fan did not continue to care about the follow-up progress. After all, the Zerg would not dare to play any tricks on this matter. At the moment, he had another problem to solve!
Yes, if Lin Yu broke through to become an S-class dark energy manipulator, he would definitely be very powerful and would directly become a strategic force of the Federation.
However, there was also a problem, and that was that the current second-generation warship version of the dark energy auxiliary computing device could not support the use of S-class dark energy. In fact, let alone S-class, when Lin Yu used the A-class dark energy auxiliary computing device to deal with Ipnos, it directly destroyed the second-generation warship version of the dark energy auxiliary computing device on the Merloh.
Therefore, this was the most important problem at the moment. Otherwise, even if Lin Yu broke through to become an S-class dark energy manipulator, he would not be able to display even 10% of his true strength.
Although the third-generation warship version of the dark energy auxiliary computing device had been developed a long time ago, there were still many difficulties that could not be overcome in a short period of time.
Now, what Lin Fan lacked the most was time …
Therefore, as the inventor of the dark energy auxiliary computing device, Wei put forward a very bold proposal and tried it with Lin Yu's approval.
A large amount of Erot metal in the Weiss Star System was compressed to the limit and finally a new metal was created, Alpha metal!
According to tests, this metal was tens of thousands of times better than Erot metal in terms of dark energy absorption, storage, and operating efficiency. It was enough to support the use of an S-class dark energy manipulator.
However, there was a huge problem with this. If they wanted to use Alpha Metal as the material to create a second-generation Alpha version of the battleship dark energy auxiliary computing device, they would need to consume an entire year's worth of Eros Metal production in the Weiss system.
Since the Federation didn't have a lot of Erlot Metal, and 90% of the Erlot Metal had been used to build the Netherworld Battleships, as well as other things, they had used up almost all of it.
Therefore, even though the Federation had already started this plan a few months ago when they reached an agreement with the insectoids, it was still impossible to gather enough Erot.
And now … Lin Fan did not have the time to wait for another half a year.
Eventually, after seeing Haig, Lin Fan had to discuss with Wei about how to solve this problem.
"Marshal, General Lin Yu's exclusive nether-level warship doesn't actually need to be redesigned. We just need to change the material of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device to alpha metal."
"As long as the materials are in place, the warship can be completed in three days!"
"The real problem is still the production of Erlo Metal. Without half a year, we won't be able to gather the required amount!"
Only the illusory figure stood in front of Lin Fan and shook his head.
After all, this wasn't a technical problem, and it wasn't something she could solve.
"Wei, I remember that other than the personal version and the warship version of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device, you also designed a mecha version, right?"
"Yes, I did, but due to the size of the mecha version, it's weaker than the warship version. Therefore, after some evaluation, the plan was scrapped. Marshal, what are you thinking?"
"That's right, the mecha version of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device made of Erlot Metal is indeed weaker than the warship version, so there's no point in building it. But what if we use alpha metal?"
"Yes, yes!"
At this moment, Wei's expression was very interesting.
Why didn't I think of this?
The reason for rejecting the mecha version of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device was that there were only so many dark energy operators above C-class in the entire federation. If every warship was equipped with at least two C-class dark energy operators, the current one billion nether-level warships would be able to digest almost all of these dark energy operators.
Therefore, there was no need to build a mecha version of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device that was weaker than the warship version.
But the situation was different now!
The warship version of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device made of alpha metal would be 10,000 times stronger than the Erlot Metal version in all aspects.
But did an S-grade dark energy operator have to have this kind of performance to match?
The answer was no.
In fact, as long as it had 1,000 times the performance of the Erlot Metal version, it would be enough to support an S-grade dark energy operator.
As for the mecha version of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device, its performance was indeed much worse than the warship version. It was only about 40%.
But if this 40% was used in the alpha metal version of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device, it would be a completely different story.
4,000 times the performance of the second-generation warship version of the dark energy auxiliary calculation device.
It would be enough to support an S-grade dark energy operator in battle. It would be very rich!
"Is three days enough?"
Lin Fan looked at Wei, who was extremely excited, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's more than enough. The design is ready-made, you can just build it. Don't mention three days, it can go offline in two days!"
"Okay, send the Mech to the Kempinia Super Star Cluster immediately after it goes offline. I'll try my best to buy time and then return to the Kempinia Super Star Cluster!"
That's right, even if Wei could build the Mech in two days, there was still an unavoidable problem to send it to the frontline, and that was …
There was a Kempinia Super Star Cluster in the middle, and the humans did not have Garen's technology to pass through the black space. Therefore, the passage of the cosmic ocean was unavoidable.
If the Mech was sent directly to the Wills Special Super Star Cluster, it would take at least two months. Facing Haig, Lin Fan did not have the confidence to last for two months unless he had to pay a huge price!
Therefore, the best way was to immediately retreat to the Kempinia Super Star Cluster through the cosmic ocean after Lin Yu broke through.
In this way, Lin Fan would only need to last a few days at the Wills Special Defense Line.
After all, even if Haig wanted to chase to the Kempinia Super Star Cluster, without Garen's help, a month of cosmic ocean flow was also an unavoidable problem.
"Yes, Marshal!"
