“This isn’t your neighborhood!”

With the popularity of this wonderful little game, people have begun to use "You are a worm in disguise" as a joke.

The Federation's precise monitoring of individual information makes any infiltration efforts useless. Citizens' physiological information is collected by the Federation's intelligent health security system at all times to ensure that they do not suddenly develop strange mutations, such as starting to like adding a pair of arms to customized spiritual sculptures.

As a result, the worms were eventually defeated one by one by the security attack forces and disappeared from the stage of history before they could cause any major impact.

Most of these swarms of organisms with strange genetic characteristics were eliminated, while a small number were kept in strict confinement and then transported to scientific research bases for study.

The characteristics of those known as "Untouchables" are very interesting and valuable in helping us unlock the deeper mysteries of psychic science.

With the crushing of the Wormmen, the dangerous aliens within the Federation were finally cleared out.

The next thing to do is to put an end to the invasion of external enemies with names and identities.

……

One issue that the Federation's internal construction department is particularly concerned about is piracy. Even with a large number of security attack forces, it cannot be completely eliminated. A plan is needed to further increase the efficiency of the defense system.

Before the relevant project was launched, the security attack force had encountered some dangerous alien bandits many times and was exhausted.

In the galaxy, there are savage and deadly predators, the Eldar Pirates, scattered everywhere. These Eldar are lawless, fierce and brutal, and they plunder defenseless ships without mercy.

There are also the Ronin Traders of the Human Empire. Their names contain the word "traveling merchant", but Ronin: lawless nobles who are outside the order, is the most appropriate description of this force.

Rogue Traders are space pirates who, thanks to a charter from the Empire, have the right to explore freely in the star regions outside of the Empire's worlds. They sometimes engage in trade, but most of the time prefer to directly plunder.

As for old friends like the orcs, there is no need to mention it. The question should be which route to take to avoid encountering orcs, rather than when to encounter orcs.

For this reason, experts from the security engineering department decided that it was time to let these guys know that there could be "walls" in the vast space.

Through the study of subspace navigation equipment, we can affect the subspace channel even without entering the subspace. By using the unique mapping relationship between the entry and exit points of the subspace channel and the gravitational field, we create the subspace channel inhibitor.

This gravity well projector can create a localized area where hyperspace flight is unsafe. Due to its enormous energy requirements and size, it can only be installed on space stations of star base level or above.

This new technological breakthrough gave the Federation a grand plan: the Space Changyuan Project: an unprecedented interstellar defense project, a barrier spanning the entire Federation territory, powerful enough to block any hyperspace invasion.

It is not only the pinnacle of federal technology, but also the firm will shown by the Federation when facing foreign enemies.

Today, this great plan is progressing steadily, and it has only one goal: to completely eliminate any pirate forces and prevent them from using the warp channels to wreak havoc within the Federation.

Once this plan is implemented, any Warp Fleet attempting to enter the Federation through the Warp Lanes will find themselves unable to properly locate safe jump entrances and exits into the Federation's inner starspace.

They will be blocked outside, and even if they try to break through by force, they will only fall into endless confusion, or simply die because of a wrong jump and the ship is destroyed.

After repeated experiments, Federation scientists finally successfully constructed the first hyperspace barrier on the planet Helka. This groundbreaking achievement gave the Federation's top brass a glimmer of hope.

Subsequently, a series of improvement measures were rapidly implemented, including improving the barrier's energy efficiency, expanding its coverage, and ensuring the device's stability in long-term operation.

Eventually, the first batch of formal hyperspace barriers began to be laid around the core territory of the Federation, forming a tight interstellar protection network.

……

At the same time, we also began the construction of defensive Void Citadels, which are fortress colonies specifically designed for military purposes.

Good defense is no less important today than it was in the Middle Ages, when our ancestors lived. Technological progress does not make fortifications obsolete; it only changes their form and strength.

In the border areas, the boundary areas between the inner and outer rings, and areas where suspected webway entrances and exits have been detected, the Federation has established countless military orbital stations. Like sections of city walls, they firmly block the entrances to the Federation.

These military orbital stations exist for defense, and they are equipped with larger-scale hyperspace channel inhibitors bound to military fortresses, which can block any enemy's advance route.

Any invading enemy must completely destroy these fortress orbital stations equipped with powerful planetary shield generators, self-sufficient production zones, and massive defensive weapons and stationed soldiers before they can continue to advance into our territory.

Without the use of extremely powerful star-destroying weapons, normal orbital bombardment would have no effect even if it lasted for hundreds of years.

We can guard this section of the wall until we die!

……

The construction of star base superluminal inhibitors and orbital defense stations has given the Federation's borders and important star regions a real space-scale wall.

The completion of the Space Wall not only freed the Federation from the threat of pirates, but also significantly improved the nation's security. Peace had returned to the border star regions, and the citizens of the Federation no longer had to worry about sudden attacks.

Of course, the Space Changyuan System is not without flaws. It requires a massive energy supply, regular maintenance, and the ability to respond to new types of enemies that may emerge. But it has undoubtedly become one of the greatest defense projects in Federation history, a symbol of Federation technology and will.

Across the boundless universe, an invisible interstellar wall stretches through the darkness. It not only blocks enemy attacks, but also proclaims the Federation's unwavering resolve—they will no longer allow predators to trample upon their territory. They will use technology to build an indestructible barrier, ensuring that the Federation's civilization stands forever among the stars.

……

"Damn it, what the hell are these aliens doing?"

The leader of the Rogue Trader Dynasty narrowed his single eye and stared at the star map on the tactical screen.

He had once been one of the many Imperial Rogue Traders who conducted clandestine trade with the Tau across this star region. Faith in the God-Emperor was important, but alien goods always commanded the highest profits, and he had a privateering license anyway.

But now, the starry sky has changed.

His fleet, six Rogue Trader starships, now drifted in a seemingly tranquil void, intending to bypass the formal border posts of the rising Federation xenos and sneak into the Tau side.

But they didn't expect that the navigator would shout and scream that he couldn't see the road clearly, so they had to make an emergency landing here.

Then, they were greeted by an invisible wall.

Their route was cut off. Voyage Ponderers repeatedly warned that the surrounding gravitational environment was experiencing abnormal disturbances, rendering their warp engines unable to function properly. Forcing their way through this star region could directly cause their warp engines to lose control and be sucked into the depths of the Otherworld.

In other words, they were blocked, as if trapped in front of an invisible restricted area.

"What's going on? Check our engine! Is it a malfunction?"

The Rogue Trader Captain roared, yelling at the Mechanicus personnel beside him.

"No problem, my lord! All systems are functioning normally, but—"

The mechanic's voice was filled with uncertainty. "But we can't make the jump. The area ahead seems to be interfered with by something, perhaps those facilities."

They looked at the main screen, and the scene before them made everyone gasp.

Among the numerous galaxies, huge space stations are looming, surrounded by countless defense systems, and there are also huge void fortresses located between the galaxies. They are like steel fortresses, extending along the entire border of the federation.

From a distance, they look like some kind of huge interstellar barrier. The hyperspace suppression field they release blocks the stars behind them in 360 degrees.

"What the hell…what are these things?"

A crew member murmured in a low voice, his voice filled with incredible awe.

In fact, everyone can see that this is a Great Wall, a space wall forged by technology.

"Captain, shall we go around it? Perhaps we can find a gap, or..."

The adjutant whispered.

"Around? Do you think those aliens are stupid? If they can build these, there won't be any loopholes."

The Mechanical Priest disagreed.

They looked at the constantly rotating star map. The routes that originally marked the passage were ruthlessly rejected one by one by the navigator. Instead, they were replaced by deep restricted areas. They were locked in.

Forced jumps could bring consequences worse than death, so no one dares to try to dive deep into the dangerous areas of the warp.

"……retreat."

The leader of the Rogue Traders finally gave the order, there was no way out, they had nowhere to go.

"Or we can just stay here..."

The first officer proposed a new idea: Tau aren't the only people who could be communicated with. Perhaps these Federation giant lizards could also provide some business opportunities.

Of course, from the perspective of these defense systems, they can only be formal business opportunities.

……

"Bjetan's Arkkin paid a large price, and it was easy to earn."

The Eldar raider stood on his dilapidated bridge, grinning coldly. The Ark Eldar, seemingly unwilling to give up, decided to contact their underworld colleagues and teach the Federation a lesson.

The Eldar pirates had just passed through a secret webway into the Federation. According to previous experience, although the defense of this star field was strong, there were still enough loopholes for pirates like them to infiltrate.

Their fleet consists of seven agile raiders, equipped with powerful weaponry and state-of-the-art holographic shielding technology.

Based on their past experience in the Empire and even on Tau worlds, they could easily raid a small colony or a few cargo ships, loot enough supplies, and then get away before the victim's fleet could arrive.

But this time, they were wrong.

When they completed the jump and rushed out of the webway exit, what greeted them was not an empty star field, but a huge monster: a void fortress and its affiliated star fortress, standing majestically among the stars.

Furthermore, they were discovered by a series of military installations mounted on the orbital station. The Eldar pirates instantly sensed something was wrong, and their leader immediately shouted, "Strengthen the holographic position and then reactivate the webway gate. We must..."

But it was too late.

boom--!

An extremely thick beam of light cut through the darkness, like the wrath of a god, and instantly penetrated the flagship of the pirate fleet.

The Eldar plunderers on board didn't even have time to feel the pain before the entire ship was blown into countless metal fragments by the violent energy. The torn hull rolled in the flames and instantly turned into a ball of high-temperature plasma.

This is just the beginning.

Countless beams of light spears gushed out from the turrets of the Void Fortress, each one was extremely accurate and each one carried terrifying power.

Before the Eldar pirate ships could initiate the jump, they were already locked in the Citadel's firepower network spanning the entire galaxy.

"NO! Asuyan is above——"

Asuyan is dead and not in the sky, so No is useless. Screams rang out in the communication channel, and no predator could escape.

The second raider was hit by a salvo, and its hull was pierced by a spear, with a huge hole opened from the bow to the stern; the third ship hit the railgun shell while trying to dodge at high speed, and then exploded into a ball of blazing fire; the fourth ship, the sixth ship... every pirate ship that tried to escape was turned into dust under the ruthless artillery fire.

In just a minute, the once majestic pirate fleet was reduced to a floating wreckage. Before the Webway Gate recharged and reopened, the Eldar pirate fleet had been completely destroyed.

The Space Changyuan Defense System has been built, and any enemy who dares to enter the federal territory will be turned into cosmic dust in front of this invisible wall.

The era of pirates of the Caribbean is over. This starry sky is no longer their paradise. They have sailed to the end of the world.

Chapter 104: Primitive life forms and species harmony.

While the security attack forces were working tirelessly throughout the galaxy to eliminate unsafe factors within the Federation, those who enjoyed peace were not idle either.

Every member of the Federation Science Council, the second most influential faction in the Federation, is a scientist.

Due to the optimization of the education system, the reduced difficulty of learning brought about by prosthetic memory chips, the development of brain power through genetic engineering and other factors, there are almost no official citizens in the Federation who are not scientists, but the Science Council is also a leader among these scientists.

The Transcendentalism they represent pursues continuous scientific progress and believes that all problems can be solved through technology. Therefore, faced with the various new problems encountered by the Federation after its expansion, the Science Council is committed to solving them through the research and development of new rare technologies and Ascension Engineering.

……

The first breakthrough was our development in bio-engineering.

All this is thanks to a breakthrough in a great experiment.

Lazarus, this rich and mysterious world, has become one of the most important biological research bases of the Federation because of its unique geological environment and the "Fountain of Youth" hidden deep within it.

This spring not only contains powerful life energy, but has also been proven to slow down the aging process of organisms. It is an important experimental site for the federal government to study genetic technology, life shaping and evolution theory.

In the core experimental area of the Fountain of Youth, the Federation's top scientists gathered here. They came from various races - humans, dragons, lizardmen, beetle people, tree spirits, fungus people... Each species brought its own unique biological insights, and the research team also gathered the highest level of biotechnology wisdom in the entire Federation.

Their goal is not simply to extend lifespan, but to find the most original form of life, the starting point of the evolution of all things, the primordial soup or the source of all things brought by alien meteorites.

Then we can use it to gain ultimate control over the evolution of life.

In a key experiment, scientists decided to deeply analyze and refine the genetic structure of all known life forms in the Federation, and fuse and reorganize them by inputting the special energy of the Fountain of Youth.

They hope to find a perfect cell that can carry all this life information, make it the starting point of evolution, and provide endless possibilities for future genetic engineering.

During the research process, they extracted genetic information from ancient fossils. From the most primitive single-celled organisms to the most complex intelligent races, and even those amazing space Leviathans, the genetic codes of all known life were disassembled and analyzed one by one and put into an unprecedented genetic melting pot.

After countless experiments, a never-before-seen type of cell was born.

It is tiny and pure, but contains extremely active genetic information inside. It can adapt to any environment and can divide and recombine infinitely. What is even more amazing is that it can autonomously absorb the surrounding gene fragments and complete gene splicing and optimization in a short time.

Scientists named this life "Luka", a "primitive life form" that can theoretically carry any possibility of life, and may also be the origin of all life in the universe.

The emergence of Luca overturned all known theories of biology. It has no fixed form, and can change its structure through simple environmental stimuli, and can even imitate or transform other life forms.

It is not a simple pluripotent stem cell, but the "source code" of life and the ultimate free state of evolution.

When scientists input genes from different species into Luka, Luka quickly absorbs and reorganizes these genes to form a completely new life model.

In one experiment, scientists successfully used Luca to completely transform a mammal into a plant body structure, enabling it to survive by photosynthesis without the need to consume external organic matter.

This breakthrough made Federation scientists realize that Luca was not just a research subject, but a being that could change the definition of all life.

……

As the research deepened, Luca cells began to multiply rapidly in the experimental base. Nourished by the Fountain of Youth, they spontaneously expanded and gradually formed an unprecedented light green lake.
