In front of the Gate of Purgatory, Garen looked at Haig and Ipnos with a serious expression.
"You all know that although that bastard Faern imprisoned us in that small world and constantly used us for all kinds of experiments, it's undeniable that our evolution level is indeed constantly increasing."
After listening to him, Haig and Ipnos nodded.
Indeed, they hated Faern for conducting all kinds of messy experiments on them all day long.
However, as Garen said, under Faern's various experiments, they had indeed become stronger.
Take Ipnos for example. They were originally a Level Six biological civilization, but in just a few decades, they had evolved into a Level Seven biological civilization. This speed could not be considered slow!
After all, the evolution of a biological civilization was different from that of a technological civilization.
The advancement of every biological civilization could only be achieved after a long period of evolution.
And this long period of time was usually measured in tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, for Ipnos to evolve from a Level Six biological civilization to a Level Seven biological civilization in just a few decades was already considered an extremely abnormal and exaggerated matter.
"However, that bastard Faern is no longer here. Regardless of whether he's really dead or not, we also need to consider our own future!"
Garen continued to speak as he looked at his No.1 and No.2 subordinates nodding their heads.
"From today onwards, if we want to continue evolving to a higher level, we'll need the support of a large amount of resources!"
"Although from today onwards, the Nerkenia Supercluster will be under our rule and we can suppress the civilizations here as much as we want and make them pay us regular tributes of resources."
"However, relying on them alone is not enough. We need to go on expeditions to seize more territory and obtain more abundant resources!"
"Although doing this is equivalent to following Faern's wishes and makes me very unhappy, we have no choice but to do this!"
Just as Garen said, the matter of going on expeditions to the outside world gave him the feeling that he was being used by Faern, who was no longer around. However, he had no choice but to do it!
After all, if he did not do this, just a supercluster alone would not be able to satisfy his demand for resources, not to mention the large group of subordinates he had to raise.
Garen had always been kind to his underlings, as if he was the boss of Jianghu.
"Big Brother, I understand!"
"Big brother, just tell me what to do. I'll listen to you!"
Not only Lasti knew how to show his loyalty, but Haig and Ipnos also knew how to do it!
"Alright, Ipnos, you're in charge of getting all of our brothers out and settling them down!"
"And you, Haig, go and find Lasti. I believe he will have the star maps and information about the forces around the Nerkenia Super Cluster!"
"After that, we will arrange the follow-up according to the information!"
Seeing the loyalty of his two lackeys, Garen was obviously very pleased and immediately made arrangements.
"Yes, Big Brother!"
"No problem, big brother!"
-----
Three years later.
Federation calendar year 145.
This year would be crowned as the Day of Calamity by the later generations. A large number of high-grade biological civilizations attacked from the Nerkenia Super Star Cluster and launched expeditions to the surrounding Super Star Clusters.
And all of this …
Lin Fan was completely unaware!
After a long period of peace in the Federation, the local galaxy group where the Milky Way was located had been completely developed.
Not only the Federation itself, but even the lackeys of the Federation also had the need to expand outwards.
The Myers Galaxy Group, as the frontline of the war between humans and bugs, had been designated as the headquarters of the Federation Starfleet ten years ago and would not carry out any migration activities.
Therefore, under such a situation, a new round of expansion plans was placed on the table!
In the virtual conference room, a group of Federation bigwigs gathered together.
Today's topic was very important as it concerned the development direction of the entire Federation. Therefore, everyone's expression was very serious.
At this moment, the one who was giving the report was Lin Fan!
"Ten years ago, our Starfleet had already formulated a land exploration plan with the intention of exploring the surrounding galaxy groups and obtaining enough information to prepare for the Federation's future expansion!"
"As everyone knows, our Federation is located in the Virgo Super Star Cluster in the Lanikaia Super Star Cluster. The Myers Galaxy Group, where the Starfleet headquarters is located, is located at the exit of the cosmic ocean current between the Virgo Super Star Cluster and the Kempinia Super Star Cluster."
"Therefore, in order to connect our Federation's territory, the first phase of the Starfleet's land exploration plan focused on exploring the area between the local galaxy group and the Myers Galaxy Group!"
"According to our exploration, there are a total of 27 galaxy groups in this area, with a total of 985 galaxies!"
"Among these galaxy groups, seven of them are already in a unified state, with a level-6 civilization existing in each of them. As for the other twenty galaxy groups, the highest being a level-5 civilization, they have not yet formed a unified state!"
"Therefore, the Starfleet Headquarters has formulated a 30-year plan to conquer these 27 galaxy groups. Everyone, please take a look!"
At this point, Lin Fan operated the virtual interface in front of him, and a detailed plan was transmitted to everyone's terminal.
In fact, according to the Federation's current strength, conquering 27 galaxy groups would not take as long as 30 years.
After all, in most of the galaxy groups, there were only level-5 civilizations competing with each other. Even for the seven galaxy groups that had already formed a unified state, there was only one level-6 civilization. To the current Federation, this was no longer a threat.
The Federation could even divide its military strength into 27 equal parts and conquer these 27 galaxy groups at the same time without any problems.
However, in reality, it was impossible to do so, and the key to the problem lay with the Zergs.
According to the previous plan, the Federation had deployed 90% of its military strength in the Myers Galaxy Group to prevent the Zergs from suddenly attacking.
Therefore, the current fleet that the Federation could use for battle was only one galaxy group level fleet with ten billion warships!
However, this was not too big of a problem.
After all, every time the Federation conquered a galaxy group, they would need to spend a lot of time and energy to develop it.
Therefore, even if they had the strength to conquer 27 galaxy groups at the same time, there was no need to do so. It was impossible for the Federation to develop 27 galaxy groups at the same time!
Therefore, there was no problem with the 30-year plan that Lin Fan had formulated. The other parts of the Federation could also follow behind the Starfleet and gradually develop galaxy groups one by one.
"Everyone, our first target is here!"
With a wave of his hand, a virtual starmap was instantly displayed in front of Lin Fan.
Lin Fan pointed at a red dot on the star map and said to everyone!
