Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

Meanwhile, the preparation of the FFC's technology conference was underway The purpose of the conference was for the scientists around the world to gather together and explore scientific topics

All the scientists seey for the VZPE battery really ready as FFC proclaimed it?" Their doubt was not unfounded, since it ell known that there were e

This science conference lasted a long time and was divided into different sessions The first session was the reet with the media, the second session was the primary panel discussions, and the final session was the caucus panel discussions The secrets of the VZPE battery would be announced at the last stage, and by then, only a handful feho had earned a seat on the caucus panel would be able to attend

Despite the high clearance level of the project, news of its progress still found its way to the public's ears Rumors had it that the FFC had already possessed the essential technologies inheadwinds in a few very particularprocesses FFC intended to iron out these kinks during the conference with the help of scientists around the world Otherwise, the FFC would never willingly disclose their secrets

The announce the conference was an opportunity of a lifeti truly revolutionary The scientists cae, but the military came for its application

The project had been under the military's radar ever since its conception To the eneration of o, when the first "mother ship"—the aircraft carrier—was introduced to the world, it had brought the naval warfare to a new era Nowadays, the desire for a superclass s stroke a reseht in an arantic super class rew in size, the de athe firepower and the capacity of its shield, as both were power hoggers

However, the VZPE battery proy With that in hand, the humans would be able to create mother ships that were practically space deathit would take FFC to invent such a battery, the Military could not pass up on it Therefore, they had been installing spies inside the project tea this conference, they had also dispatched an entire unit of covert operation teauised as civilians

Due to the inificantly beefed up its security Even the Confederation's secret police unit had been requested to station in the city during the conference Although the invention of the VZPE battery would be great news for all hue, it would more or less unnerve the Ivantians and the Martians as they would feel threatened by Earthling's technology advancement Everyone knew that the alliance of the hus, and the eventual infighting was inevitable Nevertheless, Human race's unity had improved by leaps and bounds over the recent hundred years, thanks to a centralized governalaxies

There was another acute proble the peace of human race: the three colonies in the Andromeda Galaxy that were still underdeveloped due to its relatively young age It took the Martians three hundred years of hard work to finally tame their planet The three colonies servedpressure of population on earth, but they lacked severely in resources and commerce The only resource-rich planet, Norton, was under the Zerg's occupation, and Norton's extreravity decreed that it could only be used as a supply node, and was not suitable for settlement

The only hope seemed to lie at the planet of Ceres It was a marvelous planet that was situated between the Mars and the Jupiter As the moon of the Mars, it was quickly colonized and developed by the Martians to be one of the most developed places in the known Universe

Ceres was also iate to the human world It served as a port for commerce between the solar system and the other systems The Martians even built a space portal on Ceres that would warp spaceships directly to the Androovernh the Ceres had an independent military, the planet had always been the focal point of battles between greater powers as they raised nuues and proxy wars to establish its dominance
