"Ipnos?"
Lin Fan did not find it strange that Artra had information about the center of the universe.
After all, in the Sun River Empire, there were also a large number of caravans from various civilizations coming and going. Some of them belonged to civilizations that were part of the Empire but part of the Federation.
What really caught Lin Fan's attention was Ipnos.
Lin Hong once said that there were restrictions. Under normal circumstances, Lin Hong would not intervene in the war between the civilizations. After all, the Kirin Clan was a guardian clan.
However, Ipnos was different. He and the Federation could be said to have a death grudge.
"Yes, Marshal Lin Fan, do you know this guy?"
Looking at Lin Fan's expression, Artra asked curiously.
"Yes, I know. Speaking of which, the Void Dragon Clan that he belongs to is not a natural product. They were artificially created. The civilization that created the Void Dragon Clan was only at the level of a Level Five technological civilization at that time!"
"Of course, after accidentally creating this monster clan, that civilization was quickly destroyed by Ipnos and his clan. After that, they almost wiped out all the civilizations in the entire galaxy!"
"Until the Federation went to that galaxy and wiped them all out … However, at the last moment, Faern rescued him."
"So, to be precise, Ipnos and the Federation have a blood feud!"
Hiss …
Artra and Tarovis were shocked.
The second character on the side of the biological civilization was actually a man-made product?
More importantly, Ipnos had such a deep grudge with the Federation.
Looking at it this way, the biological civilization's actions this time were really unfriendly.
"According to what Marshal Lin Fan said, this time we have to take it seriously. According to the speed of the biological civilization's army, even if we don't advance, they should still come into contact with us in two years' time!"
"In other words, we only have two years to prepare for war with the biological civilization!"
"But there is also good news. That is, according to the intelligence, Garen doesn't seem to have any intention of moving."
In the end, Artrea mentioned Garen again and was glad that this guy did not move.
After all, the previous battle between Garen and Faern was too shocking. In the absence of the Alfate civilization, no one in the entire Azure Dragon Universe could fight against them.
"You don't have to worry too much about Garen's side. It has a special restriction. Normally speaking, it won't interfere in the war between civilizations!"
"There's such a thing?"
Hearing this, Artemis and Tarovis were also shocked.
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. It was no wonder that since the birth of biological civilizations, there had been no wars against technological civilizations.
In the beginning, the two of them thought that it was a biological civilization that had changed. But now, after hearing what Lin Fan said, it seemed that feelings did not change but existed for a special reason?
"So, for now, we only need to focus on Ipnos."
"However, there is one thing to note. You can injure or even capture Ipnos, but you absolutely cannot kill him!"
"Otherwise, I'm worried that Garen will go crazy even if he's restrained!"
"After all, as far as I know, the relationship between Garen and Ipnos is almost equivalent to that of sworn brothers!"
Lin Fan said very seriously.
Speaking of which, Lin Fan was not too worried about Ipnos. Not to mention the current technology of the Federation, Lin Fan himself had reached the level of a half-step Level Twelve Dark Energy User. This was a realm that only existed in legends.
Therefore, dealing with Ipnos was really not a big deal.
But as he said, if Ipnos was killed, then the problem would be huge. Garen might even go completely crazy because of this.
If this situation really happened, then things would be difficult. Lin Fan knew very well that he was not Garen's opponent now!
Understanding the pros and cons, Artemis and Tarovis also nodded and remembered it in their hearts.
-----
Federation Calendar Year 239.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed since the last war.
And according to the latest intelligence, the biological civilization army led by Ipnos was now less than three Superstar Clusters away from the front line of the two camps.
There was not much time left for the Federation.
Of course, the Federation would not do nothing in these two years. They would just wait for the arrival of Ipnos.
Just take the analysis of the black cavity data as an example. Under the investment of the Federation, the analysis rate had been raised to 96% in two years and a perfect analysis was about to be achieved.
Once this point was achieved, the Federation could try to advance their civilization and become the first god-level civilization in the Azure Dragon Universe.
Of course, this was all in the future. Even if the black cavity data was perfectly analyzed, it would take at least a few decades to complete the breakthrough to a god-level civilization. After all, the integration of several major technologies was not a simple matter.
In addition to technology, Lin Fan's own progress was also great.
However, no matter how great the progress was, he was still stuck at the last step again.
When Lin Fan wanted to launch the final breakthrough, he found that the breakthrough to Rank-12 Dark Energy Envoy did not require any dark energy. Instead, it required a huge amount of black cavity energy.
Where did the black cavity energy come from?
Naturally, it was extracted from the black cavity particles.
It was not that Lin Fan had not tried extracting the black cavity particles from the dark energy crystals and then using them to break through to Rank-12 Dark Energy Envoy.
Oh, no, calling it Rank-12 Dark Energy Envoy might not be correct. According to Lin Fan's guess, once he succeeded, it would be a new realm that had nothing to do with dark energy. As for what realm it was, he could not say for sure.
In short, Lin Fan tried. He spent a total of 100,000 dark energy crystals to extract all the black cavity particles from them and tried again!
But the result?
Lin Fan clearly felt that he could not even complete 1% of the progress …
If he wanted to succeed completely, even if he exhausted the Federation's current reserves, it might not be enough.
This was a headache …
At this juncture, Lin Fan could not gamble with all the Federation's reserves.
For this reason, he could only put this matter aside for the time being. He would wait until the black cavity data was perfectly analyzed and he had the means to directly extract the black cavity particles from the black cavity space.
At that time, he would not have to worry about this anymore.
"Or, I can try kidnapping him myself?"
"After capturing Ipnos, I can exchange it with Garen for the dark energy crystals?"
Suddenly, Lin Fan remembered that the Sun River Empire had obtained a large number of dark energy crystals from Garen and suddenly had this idea.
If he captured Ipnos alive and extorted tens of millions of dark energy crystals from Garen …
It should not be a big problem, right?
