Just as the Italo Alliance was discussing how to defeat the evil invaders, the Federation.
Lin Fan was listening to Elfi's report in his office.
After listening to the report, Lin Fan frowned.
It was not that Lin Fan was dissatisfied with the results of the Angel Fleet, but the time bubble that Elfi mentioned …
Due to the existence of the System, although he did not exchange for many technologies, he had seen the names and introductions of these technologies. Naturally, he knew what the time bubble was.
This was one of the signature technologies of an orthodox level-8 civilization. Furthermore, this technology usually only appeared in the later stages or even the peak of a level-8 civilization.
In fact, according to the System, the time bubble was not a means of attack or defense. It was more widely used in manufacturing, storage, and other industries.
Think about it. If a time bubble was used to envelop a warship production base and use the time contraction effect to slow down time by tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of times, what would the result be?
Or, when storing materials with a time limit, what would happen if a time bubble was used to envelop them and use the time expansion effect? What would the result be?
Therefore, this technology was not used in a battle among level-8 civilizations. Instead, it was used in other areas.
Of course, this did not mean that it could not be used in battle. Take the Italo Alliance for example. Did they not use this technology to trap the entire 105th Star System Cluster of the Federation?
However, this was only for civilizations below level-8. When you used this technology against a level-8 civilization, you would realize that it was completely ineffective!
This was because the reason why a level-8 civilization could create a time bubble with time expansion or time contraction effect in the later stages or at the peak of a level-8 civilization was because in the early stages of a level-8 civilization, they would be able to create a time bubble that could resist time contraction or time expansion. This was to resist the time related effects of a warship traveling at sub-light speed that exceeded 30% of the speed of light.
However, in reality, the Federation had already possessed this technology.
That was the technology that the Fearless Fleet, which had shone brilliantly on the Weta Defense Line, was equipped with at its maximum speed.
It was the elementary application of the time bubble technology to offset the effects of time dilation, allowing the Dreadnaught-class warship to travel at a maximum of 0.99 times the speed of light, which was the ninth-tier speed defined by the federal fleet, without worrying about the so-called time dilation effect.
However, Lin Fan hadn't expected that there would be a civilization in this Star System where the highest civilization was only a level-6 civilization.
The angel fleet was caught off guard by the time bubble, so it was only natural that they would fall for it.
It wasn't Elfi's fault. After all, no matter who it was, they would have fallen for it.
Even he himself was no exception.
However, Lin Fan wasn't prepared to agree to Elfi's request to conscript Li Lizi.
After all …
Li Lizi was currently in the middle of a key project, so it was impossible for her to leave.
However, since they already knew it was a time bubble, the problem was easily solved. All they had to do was shut down or destroy the device that released the time bubble, and everything would be solved.
However, none of the battleships in Elfie's fleet had a time bubble system installed, so they definitely couldn't carry out this mission. Otherwise, they would only sink deeper and deeper, trapping more and more fleets in the time bubble.
But now, it was indeed a good opportunity …
The insectoid army had retreated!
Regardless of why they retreated, at least the Fearless fleet didn't have to maintain a high level of preparation, and the main defense mission would be handed over to the regular fleet.
This way, the entire Fearless fleet could be freed up, and a part of it could be deployed to the Mercia System to support Elfi and help them resolve this time's time bubble!
Of course, even if they were freed up to rest, it didn't mean that the Fearless fleet could completely retreat from the cosmic current node defense line.
After all, who knew if Aliya was up to something?
However, it was not a problem to deploy a fleet to support her.
"I already know the situation, but Li Lizi is currently in the middle of an important project. She can't leave!"
"But marshal …"
Just as Elfie was about to say something anxiously, Lin Fan raised his right hand to stop her from continuing.
"Don't worry, since we already know it's a time bubble problem, it can be solved!
"I will assign you a cosmic system state legion in the Fearless fleet for you to command for the time being."
Elfi was taken aback.
Fearless fleet?
She had heard of this fleet before. It was said to be the Federation's trump card, the Invincible fleet, and it once shone brilliantly against the insectoids.
As for the specifics, she didn't know.
This couldn't be blamed on Elfi. After all, the Fearless fleet itself was the Federation's top secret. Plus, during the Vita defense line incident, Elfi was still serving in the second-tier guard fleet, so she didn't have the qualifications to participate in the core meetings.
Therefore, it was understandable that she didn't know the actual situation of the Fearless fleet.
"The Fearless fleet is the most elite fleet in our Starfleet. Normally, they won't be deployed unless it's an important situation."
"The key is that every ship in the Fearless fleet is equipped with a time effect countermeasure device. Simply put, it's a device that nullifies time bubbles."
"If you want to solve the time bubble that's currently trapping the 105th system cluster, you just need to find the source device, then shut it down or destroy it."
"And with the Fearless fleet in your hands, I believe with your ability, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
For a moment, Elfi was dumbfounded.
[Time effect countermeasure device?]
[Something that can resist time expansion or contraction and nullify time bubbles?]
[The Federation's technology is already at this level?]
Elfi also didn't expect something that was troublesome or even unsolvable to her, but to Lin Fan, it seemed like a trivial matter that could be easily solved.
"And your answer?"
Lin Fan yelled in annoyance as he looked at Elfie who was standing there in a daze with a trace of shock.
"Yes, General, I promise to complete the mission!"
Elfi, who was pulled back to reality by Lin Fan, immediately gave a Federation military salute.
After the communication was disconnected, Lin Fan once again focused all of his attention on the insectoids.
Elfi should be fine with the help of the Fearless fleet, but the situation with the insectoids was what gave Lin Fan a headache.
"Looks like I need to send a small fleet to explore the insectoid territory!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
