Orion Nebula. This is a very young nebula. Not only are there many young stars with a lifespan of 1 million years, but there are also many stars that are still in the process of being born. For the surrounding star fields, this is a place of birth, full of strong vitality. It can also be said that there are almost infinite resources here. These resources are all usable, rather than being gathered inside a large number of stars and unable to be mined. Although the Orion Nebula is only 23 light years in diameter, the amount of resources that can be used by itself other than stars is more than 500 stars. And this is also the core of the construction of the Silk Civilization. From the outside, no trace of civilization can be found here, not only because of the thickness of the nebula, but also because the Silk Civilization itself is hidden. Because of this, after the Olive Branch Civilization took out the star map, the Federation knew the existence of the Silk Civilization. At the same time, the Olive Branch Civilization itself is also very cleverly hidden. Their civilization is too concentrated, making it impossible to infer whether it is multiple Level 1 civilizations or a whole Level 2 civilization.
If the Federation had discovered the Olive Branch Civilization first and then rashly attacked it, it would have been crushed to death like an ant. After tens of thousands of years of continuous observation. The Federation discovered that the Silk Civilization was almost completely huddled in the Orion Nebula. They were highly concentrated, not dispersed like the Federation. If you analyze the Federation carefully, you will find that there are actually far more than 300 stars within the Federation's star field, and even more than 1,000 stars. However, the Federation only controls more than 300 star systems, because other star systems are basically dominated by red dwarfs, and the value of development is very low, and the investment and return are much lower than other star systems. The return rate of the Federation's own development of star systems is already low enough, and if it is lower, it will simply lose money. So the Federation keeps those star systems and waits for them to be organized internally and then distributed to those group chaebols for development. The Federation itself only needs to control the massive stars. In fact, the amount of resources controlled by the Federation is still far behind the Silk Civilization. At this time, the fleet has reached the outside of the Orion Nebula and has even pulled out an outpost of the Silk Civilization. The Silk Civilization should have known about their arrival. They originally wanted this effect. This fleet does not need to hide, they come here for nothing else, just to send. In theory, the civilization they play does not know that there is an advanced civilization in Orion, they just think there is a civilization that is not too strong, and they are doing the same at this time. They rush around, and then launch patterns that all civilizations can understand. The content of this pattern is irony and makes the other party surrender. It is extremely domineering. This naturally aroused the anger of the Silk Civilization. Soon the Silk Civilization sent 10,000 warships to meet them. The warships of the Silk Civilization are terrifyingly powerful, but the means of the Federation to build here for ten thousand years are not weak.
The Federation used a new weapon called the optical corridor. The optical corridor is not for the enemy, but for its own convenience. They created a lot of geometric structures around themselves, which reflected the spacecraft like a mirror, so that the number of their spacecraft increased from 6,500 to 650,000. In these geometric structures, the warships shuttled and left a lot of attack anchors. These anchors and warships launched attacks synchronously, creating a terrifying amount of firepower coverage. Illusion attack? Of course not, this still has substantial attack significance. In fact, more warships have been modularly split into smaller warships and wandered around the optical corridor. Some warships approached the warships of the Silk Civilization and caused self-explosion, becoming a black hole weapon. This novel method is actually for the purpose of surprise. The Silk Civilization did not have much analysis and did not know their methods, while the Federation warships knew the Silk Civilization itself very well. This information gap between the two sides caused great casualties to the Silk Civilization. In the end, the Federation warships were completely wiped out, and the Silk Civilization warships also lost more than 5,000 ships, which means that the ratio of casualties on both sides was close to 1:1. No civilization would underestimate such an opponent. Just when the Silk Civilization was wondering where these warships came from, 5 star systems were suddenly destroyed. This was an attack from /Star City. The supergravity weapon itself has traces because it needs to be located. So the Silk Civilization discovered that it was /Star City that was attacking at the first time. All of a sudden, the Silk Civilization became chaotic. Because they were facing three civilizations that were almost equal to them, none of which were weak civilizations that had just entered level 2, but some civilizations above level . This was still a conservative estimate, and the civilizations they were facing might be at level and above. At this time, they sent most of their warships to fight the Federation. At this time, the number of warships inside was simply not enough to sustain the war with the other two civilizations. Anxiety attacked the entire civilization. Yan Xia, who was at the border of the Federation, didn't know how the Silk Civilization would judge at this time. After all, the guesses he made were all within the scope of his own understanding. The ideas between humans can sometimes go against each other and be very different, let alone one civilization and another. This will determine the direction of the subsequent war. And Yan Xia couldn't know it at the first time, and even the Silk Civilization wouldn't know it at the first time. They don't have technology like tachyon communication. The distance between the two sides is about 1,300 light years, so it takes 1,300 years for the information to be transmitted to the Silk Civilization fleet on the front line. In other words, Yan Xia held on for the first 800 years, but still needs to hold on for 1,300 years. Pain! Torture!
This can be said to be a self-inflicted disaster. But does Yan Xia regret it? No! If there was no Holy Grail Plan, the Civilization Federation would have been swallowed up by /Star City long ago, and at this time, Zhuo would not be so easy to talk to. At least 50% of the reason why Zhuo can not attack the Civilization Federation now is because of the Holy Grail Plan. And fighting against the Silk Civilization is also an important part of the Holy Grail Plan. The more fiercely the two civilizations fight, the weaker the Federation appears, and the more reliable the Holy Grail Plan is. After all, if there was no Holy Grail Plan, who gave a weaker civilization the courage to provoke a civilization stronger than them? So Yan Xia can be said to have both pain and happiness. The pain is because he is indeed in a weak position, and even after so many years of development, he cannot catch up with the Silk Civilization. Happiness means being able to stabilize the Olive Branch Civilization and buy precious time for him and the Federation. He is not actually worried about the Silk Civilization. Because the main part of the Federation is already in the Water Commission, the Tiancang Five Star Region itself is not very developed. Even if the Silk Civilization suddenly explodes in the past 1,000 years, it will only destroy the Tiancang Five Star Region. The reason why Yan Xia still has to stay here now is because giving up Tiancang Five is an absolute last resort. If you can resist, you still have to resist. So Yan Xia still tried his best. In order to persist for 1,300 years, Yan Xia began to prepare a new plan. This plan is a bit cruel, but it is very effective.
