Those Space Marines were able to confront individual Drakon head-on with their power armor and genetic modification, but when the Federation's Drakon groups began to fight in coordination, the Space Marines' front line gradually could not withstand the offensive, and ultimately failed because they could not withstand the siege of large numbers of Drakon.

Afterwards, the Drakons acted as a flanking force, striking back and scattering the Imperial Army's positions. Specialized behemoths, such as the Rathalos, were equally effective with their breath and superheated plasma. The Mountain Drakons' immense size and psionically enhanced armor made the Imperial soldiers' bullets and explosions seem insignificant. If the enemy's heavy firepower managed to breach their defenses, these powerful creatures would transform their bodies into a devastating lava bomb, destroying all enemies along with them.

The Federation's army, supported by dragon beasts, surrounded the Astra Militarum one by one. The Federation's soldiers' extensive experience, advanced powered exoskeletons, plasma weaponry, and complex tactical networks combined to form a powerful force that quickly cornered the enemy.

.........

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, a ghoul army, formed by Imperial troops mutated by psionic disease, has transformed the entire region into a psychically contaminated death zone. These ghouls possess contagious psionic corruption and are present in vast numbers. Their mutated superhuman strength and violent fighting style make them difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist.

They seem to have fallen into extreme delirium and cognitive confusion, believing themselves to be "loyal warriors of the Empire," and that other normal creatures are the conquered who need to be returned to the Empire's embrace, and the enemies who seek to destroy the Empire. They use mutated flesh and bones to make guns and melee weapons to attack us, and these weapons actually work and are extremely powerful.

However, the Interstellar Federation had been prepared for this. This time, under the guidance of a psychic, the army had deployed its troops according to a formation that would foster peace. Marching in this formation, the troops resembled a celestial army, exorcising evil spirits. No chaotic contamination could possibly harass the righteous troops marching on the steps of the Gang.

The mental distortion and physiological mutations caused by corrupted psionic units are their most dangerous abilities. After overcoming this pollution, their low organization and collapsed thinking logic become their most fatal weaknesses.

No matter how wild and bizarre the illusion is, it will still collapse under the gravity of reality.

After the landing operation of the Organic Codex lasted for several standard interstellar months, the Interstellar Federation took full control of the battlefield.

Those elite forces known as the Space Marines were utterly annihilated in the battle. Their resolve was unimaginable, and their sacrifice, while admirable, ultimately could not reverse the situation.

More than half of the twelve or so regiments of the Imperial Guard were destroyed, the rest captured, and a few evacuated in the chaos, but had nowhere to escape.

The ghoul forces on the other battlefield would not surrender themselves, and the Federation would not accept their surrender. In the end, all of their members were completely wiped out, and the corrupted areas they caused were burned by the super beast's psychic red lotus breath, completely removing the psychic and physical pollution effects and gradually restoring the ecology to normal.

After the battle, the Interstellar Federation immediately launched a comprehensive post-war recovery effort. All captured Astra Militarum troops were sent to specialized rehabilitation camps for comprehensive review and re-education.

They have only two choices: actively cooperate with the Federation and be transformed into good citizens with our ideology, or continue mining in prisoner-of-war camps until they die.

The relevant battle examples and intelligence left behind by the eliminated ghoul forces were strictly sealed by the psychic department as key materials for future research on psychic defense and offensive systems.

The powerful combat capabilities of the psychic war beasts produced by the Living Star have been highly praised. The Federation's Archon Team has announced that they will expand the breeding of dragon beast combat units and further optimize their genetic and psychic neural structures.

Since all known enemies have been annihilated, there is nothing that can stop us from carrying out normal colonization activities in the short term. The development of the Organic Codex is once again on the agenda, and the Ark of Genesis docked in the starport of the Giant's Graveyard galaxy will set off again.

When the good news of victory was sent to the Federation's center through gravity sensors, all members of the Archon team felt a sense of joy.

Perhaps unreasonable things appear again and again in this galaxy, trying to obstruct the Federation from achieving the grand goal of galactic harmony, but in the end they all fail.

The Interstellar Federation has once again overcome the obstacles to development with its own capabilities. This will not be the last time, but the next time will be no different, and our journey will be smooth.

Yulong, Chief Archon of the Helka Interstellar Alliance, subsequently issued a victory declaration to all citizens of the Federation, emphasizing that this was a just action to protect galactic stability, safeguard the Federation's security, combat hostile interstellar activity, and resist negative psychic influences. All sentient species in the galaxy should prioritize rationality and communication. Any alien civilization that arbitrarily violates the basic human rights of Federation citizens will face the consequences of their actions.

The so-called world is a place where people can live and work in peace and contentment. The fulfillment of this prerequisite is the foundation of the existence of the federation and cannot be lost.

This victory of the Interstellar Alliance will consolidate the people's confidence, bring new cohesion, ambitions and influence, and with the arrival of the new ascension cycle determined by the Asynchronous Plan, the Federation will make greater strides after each victory.

But as the saying goes, some are happy, some are sad. For some other civilizations in the galaxy, the Federation's victory is a serious loss for them, enough to attract great attention. Although due to their own inefficiency and bloat, our enemies may mistakenly focus on another emerging enemy, leaving us more room for development.

Just as the "Silent Ascension Plan" states, time is on our side, and our strength is growing with every passing second. All this new power has to do is hide in the shadows, wait until its enemies have destroyed themselves to exhaustion, and then emerge to clean up the mess.

In this situation of rise and fall, a new hegemony will emerge on the stage of history.

That is the future our "Grand Vision" describes.

31. World Peace and the Fountain of Youth

Enjoying the peace and tranquility after victory is the reason why all the people of the Interstellar Alliance are fighting tirelessly against the cruel enemies in the universe. After the battle of the Organic Quantum Planet, there will be several years of peace and development opportunities.

With the exploration and colonization of new planets, the final establishment of a tradition of adventure and prosperity, and the launch of the first stage of ascension, on the centennial anniversary of the birth of the Interstellar Alliance, this space civilization entered a new era of rapid development.

The first is to overcome the limitation of lifespan. Thanks to the birth of a new type of life repair technology, the ascension operation called "Fountain of Youth" was successful.

The Helka Interstellar Alliance's quest for a youth serum began with an unexpected discovery. During a scientific mission deep into the outer galaxies, a team of Alliance scientists discovered a unique ecosystem on a remote, desolate planet called Lhasalu, inhabited by life forms with extremely long lifespans.

At the heart of this ecosystem lies a faintly fluorescent spring of liquid, named Lazarus Spring. Preliminary analysis suggests this liquid contains a highly complex active molecular structure that could significantly slow the aging process in living organisms.

This discovery immediately received the attention of the Federal Governors. Research Director Tessexin personally led a team to conduct an in-depth five-year study of the Lazarus Fountain.

Using genetic mapping and laboratory techniques from extraterrestrial materials, scientists have successfully identified the key ingredient in the spring water: a substance known as "Life Factor Δ-13." Experiments have shown that this factor can repair genetic chain breaks in cells, slowing or even reversing the aging process.

While Life Factor Δ-13's effects are significant, its extraction and purification process is extremely complex and costly. The Alliance's research team employed cutting-edge psychic, genetic, and environmental simulation technologies to simulate the conditions for the formation of Lazarus Spring in a zero-gravity laboratory.

In the end, the experiment was successful, and the relevant team developed a technical system called "Pool of Lazarus" that can mass-produce youth serum. Through precise purification and catalysis, the industrialized production of youth serum was realized, providing the possibility of immortality for official citizens of the Federation.

The Lazarus Pool was subjected to closed experiments by a specialized agency in the Alliance's core galaxy, and was only put into large-scale production after its effectiveness was confirmed to be reliable.

The latest batch of youth serum is continuously shipped to various colonized planets through the Alliance's specially approved transport fleet. Official citizens can receive a youth serum injection every ten years to keep their physiological functions in peak condition.

The initial distribution of the youth serum will prioritize senior leadership, scientific researchers, and all military personnel, and will then be gradually extended to all citizens.

The introduction of the Youth Serum not only boosted the genetic ascension of species across the Federation but also strengthened the Alliance's social stability. All races recognized the benefits this technological breakthrough brought to the Federation, significantly improving the cohesion and happiness of our population.

The Youth Serum does not truly increase a person's lifespan indefinitely. Its repair function has no effect on mental damage, so people will continue to feel the burden of memories and experiences brought by a long life. However, it can still extend the lifespan of normal organisms to more than 500 years.

People can live long enough to have the leisure to think about why they are alive, rather than dying before they have fully understood their lives. This is part of the material conditions that we promise to everyone that will greatly enhance their consciousness.

However, this also brought some controversy. Although the implementation of the Lazarus Pool Project was supported by most factions, some people still questioned the social trend of immortality.

In addition to the possible problems of social moral reconstruction, cohesion experts who attach importance to the theory of "tranquility" are also worried that the excessive pursuit of immortality may lead to the disorder of the balance of yin and yang. Relevant research is still ongoing.

But no matter what, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Aging is not an issue worth considering for us. The popularization of immortality has greatly improved labor and scientific research efficiency, and the Federation's production capacity growth has reached an unprecedented level.

As more people receive injections of youth serum, generational differentiation in social strata gradually disappears, because if you have unlimited time, you can always get what you want, and the alliance's concept of equality can be implemented more thoroughly.

The youth serum can also become a diplomatic trump card for the Helka Interstellar Alliance.

This will first be a temptation to the doubtful prisoners of war, as the heaven and eternal life they dream of can be realized here.

Furthermore, if the extraterrestrial civilizations we encounter in the future are more harmonious, the limited sharing of this technology will also help the Alliance establish diplomatic influence over other extraterrestrial allies.

.........

The aging Ashadron stood on the observation deck of a main tower on Helka Prime, overlooking the vast territory woven of steel and starlight.

As the founder and first Chief Archon of the Helka Interstellar Alliance, his life spanned a century, and the long years had already carved cracks into his scales. Each flap of his wings was heavier than the last, and each of his words no longer had the earth-shaking power of his youth.

However, all that changed. The moment he first injected the youth serum, he felt a strange, cold current coursing through his veins, reaching every inch of his bones and scales. His body then shuddered violently, as if some immense force were reshaping his form. That was the promise of "Grand Vision."

When the strange feeling finally dissipated, he opened his eyes and saw his claws. They had regained their original brilliance, their hard, sharp scales reflecting the starlight like newly cast copper. Ashardron roared, the sound deep and powerful, carrying a long-lost majesty.

"It's truly a miracle of the times." He felt the hot breath exhaled from his throat and nostrils as he spoke the words. The furnace of his dying life was burning brightly, making it almost impossible for him to suppress the urge to spit flames toward the sky.

Even more astonishing was the old man's mind. Memories once eroded by time were now as clear as finely polished gemstones. Ashardron could recall the scene of the slaver's ship plummeting towards what is now Helka. He remembered every debate in the Interstellar Council, and the names and faces of the warriors who had once followed him. All of this seemed to come alive again.

He looked up at the starry sky, where countless galaxies twinkled. As the founder of Helka, he once believed his mission was to pave the way for future generations to explore the stars. But now, he had regained time. This path, the original pioneers, could walk it themselves, witness it, create it, and shape the future of the galaxy.

"Talented people emerge in every generation, and the old ones should pay tribute to the newcomers for the favors they have received."

Ashadron expressed his satisfaction in thanking his successor, then spread his wings, summoned the power of his psychic nerves, and soared above the observation deck. Every star in the night sky was crystal clear to him, and the pulse of civilization in every house seemed incredibly real to him.

The founder of the Helka Interstellar Alliance will once again lead his people into the next millennium.

People are worried that everything has a beginning but few can have an end, so we must stick to it from beginning to end and never give up.

32. The Industrial Party of the 40th Millennium

Today, the main areas of the Interstellar Alliance include Helka Prime, Dot Agate (Tathagata) III, Andod V, the Giants' Cemetery, the Organic Encyclopedia and the latest planet Lhasalu.

The number of these habitable planets has reached the peak of our carrying capacity. Continuing to expand to more distant planets will exceed the upper limit of our management scale and seriously slow down the popularization of the latest traditional and scientific research results.

Since further development is not easy, we can work deeper. The universe is so vast and it should be enriched.

The theory of the ascension of space industrialization was thus established.

The Helka Interstellar Alliance's path to space industrialization and ascension is the result of the efforts and foresight of countless generations.

As a civilization centered on materialism, equality, and militarism, the Alliance has made maximizing the efficiency of productivity and production relations its core goal since its inception. The Federation bases its progress on reality rather than some idealistic a priori goals.

The technological accumulation before ascension, such as nanomechanics, fusion energy and fleet expansion doctrine, laid the technical foundation for industrialization, while the adventurous tradition of emphasizing the cultivation of the spirit of space exploration and the completion of the prosperous tradition aimed at rapidly increasing production capacity ultimately paved the way for the Alliance to achieve this unprecedented path of progress.

When the agenda of the space industrialization ascension was passed, the Helka Research Council proposed a scientific research theory called "Expansion of Engineering Ship Functions".

The concept of the factory ship quickly sparked heated discussions across the board. Research Director Tessexin provided inspiration for the design: "We don't just want to conquer the stars; we want to take root there. Space industrialization will be a decisive step for our civilization to move from regional alliances to interstellar supremacy. A fully functional space-based production facility is our goal."

Under the strong promotion of the Central Scientific Council, the research on the relevant core technology: the "industrial core section" that can support the production of factory ships, was successfully achieved within half a year.

This technological breakthrough enables each factory ship to mine or independently produce a variety of resources, while having strong material reserves and efficient resource conversion capabilities.

Afterwards, the first prototype of a "factory ship" for the production of space energy coins was soon manufactured, completing the feasibility and mass production of the actual assembly process.

Compared with traditional engineering ships, factory ships are no longer just tools for transportation and space construction, but super production platforms that combine the production functions of the entire industrial chain.

These ships are like mobile factories floating in the universe. They can not only produce energy, minerals and food anywhere, but also deeply process scientific research materials, provide cohesion, cast consumer goods and even alloys.

Each factory ship is a floating micro-industrial zone, and its modular design allows different production functions to be configured according to demand.

The food production module can create an artificial environment to grow food crops through hydroponic agriculture and ecological simulation. It can also directly clone organic matter when necessary, but it is usually not done because of taste issues.

The mineral production module is equipped with asteroid mining and cosmic dust collection technology, and the factory ship can extract resources from space dust and meteorite belts.

The scientific research module uses a zero-gravity laboratory and alien material equipment to enable the factory ship to continue experimental scientific research during space flight.

The cohesion production module can provide federal citizens with remote and real-time experience opportunities for space life, thereby allowing people to develop a yearning and ambition for the stars and the sea.

The alloy and consumer goods production module, equipped with a consumption algorithm system, an advanced synthesis system and a large porcelain and gold furnace, ensures an adequate supply of alloys and civilian supplies during wartime.

These modules can be flexibly configured and even mixed, allowing the Federation to produce various resources in a balanced manner.

Another significant change brought about by Ascension is the openness of policy. The Alliance began allowing civilian companies to participate in the development of the space industry, such as resource transportation, population migration, and space development. This not only reduced the government's financial burden but also increased private capital's participation in space industrialization.

The government manages factory ships through a tax system. The output of each factory ship is recorded and a certain percentage of tax is paid to the union, directly supplementing the union's finances while also avoiding the risk of imbalanced resource allocation.

The completion of space industrialization has brought huge benefits.

The deployment of factory ships has significantly increased resource acquisition efficiency, multiplying the Alliance's economic output several-fold in just ten years. Especially in terms of minerals and energy, the Alliance no longer relies on resource extraction from a single planetary zone, but can now obtain vast quantities of resources from asteroid belts and interstellar dust at a much lower cost. Our planetary zones will be used for more important tasks, such as scientific research and the production of cohesive forces, freeing ordinary residents from primary industry.

The construction and operation of factory ships, due to their high degree of automation, only require a small number of skilled workers, but they can still promote employment growth. At the same time, population mobility within the alliance has also increased, and many workers have voluntarily moved to resource-rich border star regions, injecting vitality into the space industry.

Space industrialization also brought about unprecedented cultural exchange and integration. Different species worked and lived together on factory ships, fostering a sense of "industrial community" that transcended species boundaries. The diverse intellectual traditions of the Interstellar Alliance were greatly strengthened in this process.

Factory ships are not only production tools, but also logistical support during wartime. The large quantities of high-energy organic compounds required by Ultra Beasts and Psychic War Beasts, as well as the energy coins and alloys consumed by ordinary ships, are now all provided by factory ships.

The Federation's space forces were further expanded during the period of space industrialization. The previous crisis made us realize that the current military strength is not enough. The fully operational starports and living stars have now built more than 500 destroyer-class battleships and three new super beasts.

The Alliance is currently designing a super-sized space production platform known as the Gigafactory, whose production capacity, as the name suggests, will be thousands of times greater than that of a regular factory ship. While the relevant scientific research challenges have yet to be overcome, success will surely come one day.

The completion of space industrialization marked the beginning of a new era for the Interstellar Alliance. The resources provided by factory ships significantly increased the number of star base armaments and mobile fleets in each sector, expanding the Alliance's overall military capabilities by more than tenfold.

The history of the Interstellar Alliance is the history of developing productivity. When the empty universe is filled with busy ships, the production capacity of the Interstellar Alliance will explode, and its status in the universe will continue to improve.

And its threat to the old order is growing day by day, even though many of the old overlords cannot see it yet.

By the time they found out, it was too late.

33. You can’t refuse our invitation.

The Interstellar Alliance may be generous and friendly in terms of social concepts and the distribution of living materials, but this generosity does not allow you to refuse.

“The specific situation determines what is moral. If we have the ability to define the situation, then morality is just clay in our hands, which can be shaped as we like.”

Not long ago, our sociologists proposed the theory of artificial moral norms, which caused a great uproar and sparked heated discussions among people of all species and all walks of life.

But the final result only proves the correctness of this theory, which is the latest and greatest achievement of social constructionism and psychohistory.

All our thoughts and cognitions do not originate from a hymn-like, foolish myth. They originate from the void. They are just a veil of ignorance that we create in order to accept the objective world.

We were not moral from the beginning, and we are not moral to this day, because we regard our familiar environment and ideas as moral, which is like hell to other societies. Just as the way of life of the human empire is immoral to us, and they see us as the same.

It used to be that the situation shaped us, but now it’s different. We will shape the situation. Social identity reflects reality, but now we have to shape reality to change social identity.

This realization brings about a new era of ascension, as we can freely shape our consciousness by defining moral situations, so that questions of loyalty and disloyalty no longer exist.

The Imperium of Man, Greenskins or any other civilization will not understand what loyalty is to us and what loyalty is to them.

Does that matter?

Thus the ascension plan for the "affected population" began.

The core mechanism of the affected population's ascension is to incorporate all individuals who come into contact with the Star Alliance culture into its value system through advanced moral shaping capabilities.

Our mainstream thoughts will achieve a high degree of unity. Through the propaganda strategy of "single voice", the influence of the mainstream thoughts of the Interstellar Alliance can achieve the greatest propaganda effect. Any independent intellectual life will be unable to avoid changing its cognition under the bombardment of this thought.

The infiltration of this thought can not only quickly transform the internal population, but also form a strong "field of attraction" for foreign cultures, forcing them to identify with the alliance's social philosophy.

Under this Ascension effect, the probability of all outsiders being "infected" increases. As more outsiders gradually accept the Alliance's ideology, our cohesion is also enhanced, significantly enhancing the stability of the entire society and the efficiency of policy implementation.
