Compared to Song Chi and Song You, Song Lin's awakening time was much longer, giving him far more experience and, as such, a fair understanding of Star Region 0155.

This piqued the curiosity of Song Chi and the other, who hastily questioned him for details. Stay connected through m-v l|e-NovelBin

Two minutes later, the two had a basic understanding.

Of course, they knew about the first Chenxing Great Expedition; it was even a tale they could recount by heart. It was a war waged by the Chenxing Principality shortly after its establishment to expand its territories.

It is said that the Principality mobilized twenty full fleets during the campaign, with over 600,000 Torch Warships, including more than twenty of the pursuing-class. After fifty years, they successfully expanded across a vast territory.

However, regarding the specific territories explored and the enemies they faced during the war, there were only scant details in their textbooks, so they didn't have an in-depth understanding.

Now, with Song Lin's explanation, they learned that the territory originally expanded by the Principality included Golden Shark and several nearby Star Domains. The main adversary was a mid-level civilization group that called themselves the Moruo Clan.

The Moruo Clan was also a dominant power in the Chaotic Star Field, controlling nearly ten thousand light-years of Star Domains. They possessed unique civilization technologies. During the Great Expedition, they caused quite a headache for the Chenxing Expeditionary Forces until they were eventually wiped out by a large-scale use of space collapse bombs.

Of course, because of the space collapse bombs, the core essence of the Moruo Civilization was completely lost to the void fractures, and the Expeditionary Forces gained none of it. They only acquired the territories of Golden Shark and the surrounding Star Domains.

This was why, under ordinary circumstances, none of the Torch Human Civilization forces were willing to use the space collapse bombs unless absolutely necessary.

It was this war that caused the other civilizations within the Chaotic Star Field to start uniting against the subsequent expansion of the Chenxing Principality, resulting in a slow and cumbersome advance for the Principality over the next few thousand years.

While the three were discussing, the Qingkong moved forward, and Song Chao, with a thought in the Battleship Main Control Room, activated a special component on board the Qingkong.

Void Membrane lv20

Quality: Blue

Feature: Void Stealth

Consumption: 500/instance (Spectral Energy Points)

Charge: 20 minutes; Buffer: 9 hours

Duration: 2 hours

Effect: Conceals the warship's trail, with priority level 350

UpRank Requirement: 15 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, 1500 Spectral Energy Points

Void Stealth: The warship gains special void resistance, ignoring certain degrees of void fissures and Void Gangwind effects.

This component, with special effects in the void, was said to have been acquired by the old man, Song Mingsong, through unknown channels and at a considerable price.

Besides being installed on the Qingkong, Song Hai's flagship also had one, precisely for concealment while entering and exiting the Star Domain during the change of guards to prevent discovery by the Blood Blade Star Thieves.

With a den carefully nurtured for a hundred years, how could the Blood Blade Star Thieves' control over this Star Region be taken lightly?

Without ample concealment, the family's covert comings and goings for decades would likely have already been detected by the other party.

Traveling cautiously for two hours, the transparent Void Membrane coating the ship's exterior reached the end of its duration without having reached their destination. The Qingkong found a small asteroid a few hundred meters in diameter to dock at before the Void Membrane dissipated.

After dispersing the ship's power, the Qingkong seemed to become part of the asteroid, without emitting a single pulse of energy fluctuation.

It wasn't until nine hours later, after the Void Membrane component completed its buffer, that the Qingkong resumed its journey.

After repeating this process four times, two days later, the Qingkong arrived near a small Fragment Belt.

This Fragment Belt was pitifully small, with a diameter of only a few kilometers.

Compared to the massive belts spanning over a hundred thousand kilometers that could be found elsewhere, this was nothing, but within Star Region 0155, such tiny clusters of fragments were common and perhaps a characteristic of a space collapse Star Domain.

Just as Song Chi and the others thought the Qingkong would bypass these fragments and continue forward, the warship suddenly turned and rapidly dived into the cluster.

In the central area of the fragment cluster, pieces of Floating Land Fragments of varying sizes scattered haphazardly across space, appeared ordinary to the naked eye, but soon, surprise was evident in the eyes of Song Chi and the others.

The Qingkong passed through an invisible membrane, and the scenery before their eyes dramatically changed.

The seemingly unordered Floating Land Fragments became a vacuum area nearly a kilometer in diameter, with a Floating Land Fragment over five hundred meters in diameter at its center.

On this Fragment, stood a small temporary base made of alloy, and at each of the four corners of the fragment, there was a mechanical device.

Energy continuously flowed from the small temporary base into these mechanical devices. Deep red rays shot out, interlinking and ultimately constructing this concealed space hidden within the fragment cluster.

"A Combined Illusion Construct Device, I remember this thing's insanely expensive. A full set costs hundreds of strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin. Is our family really that extravagant?"

In the Qingkong, it was Song Lin who first recognized the devices.

Upon hearing this, Song Chi and Song You also quickly understood.

The Combined Illusion Construct Device, a product said to be developed by the "Virtual Technology Consortium" within the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty, one of the Four Great Super Empires of the Torch Human Civilization.
