Here in the Chaotic Star Sea, artificial intelligence is omnipresent.

If she doesn't trouble humans, it's not because she hasn't found a human gathering place, but she may feel that the value of the goal is not high and is too lazy to do it, of course, this criterion is relative, and the issue of cost performance will also be considered.

Like the vast number of mining ships in the asteroid belt, the AI will never mind eating meat, anyway, every time a small fleet is sent to kill a large number of human mining ships, which is not only valuable for attack, but also cost-effective.

For example, on a human colonized planet like Wharton, artificial intelligence generally rarely does it, and once it does, it will not be a matter of the Wharton family, but a super-scale war, and the entire Magellan field will be attacked by artificial intelligence, and then artificial intelligence will definitely sweep all the galaxies in this star field with a crushing situation, and even some surrounding star fields are also within its sweeping range.

However, if artificial intelligence really wants to do something to Wharton, it will definitely not succeed by sneak attack and harassment, and then the human side will also make timely warnings and deployments, so until a large-scale artificial intelligence fleet is discovered, the Magellan field is temporarily safe.

But if it's Watson-13 now, it's a different story.

In the past, there was only one space station on Watson 13 planet, and it was also a space prison for prisoners, although there were usually mining ships mining here, but there were very few of them, all of them were labor re-education mining ships driven by prisoners, and in addition, it was a squadron of starship escorts.

Obviously, there was very little oil and water here before, and there was a defense force, and no matter how stupid the artificial intelligence was, it would not gnaw bones for this little bit of chicken ribs.

This is no longer the case, as the space station is now a huge undefended production base, with a peanut breeding center with a daily production capacity of up to one million tons and corresponding processing plants and warehouses, 1,000 medium-sized stone mill mining vessels to and from the planet's atmosphere, and temporary docks and unloading warehouses for these mining vessels.

In addition, there are countless miners who have heard the wind and also spontaneously drove their own mining ships to mine, after all, the mining planet does not need to change places to find ore, nor does it have to travel far to unload, and the mining efficiency has been greatly improved, even if the owner of the resource planet relies on the distance advantage to properly lower the mineral recovery price and make part of the profits, it is more convenient and cost-effective than mining the asteroid belt.

With so many industries and so many people gathered here, it would have been nothing, but if the corresponding defense forces did not keep up, this would be a big problem, and it would be impossible for artificial intelligence to look at such a big advantage and not take advantage of it.

Li Yi originally planned to transform a group of battle starships, train those with high intelligence to become captains, and form a squadron-sized escort fleet to guard the space station.

But the plan can't catch up with the changes, at first he didn't expect the compressed biscuit project to be so big all of a sudden, nor did he expect it to become rich all of a sudden, and he could invest 1,000 mining ships to mine at one time, and now it is impossible to rely on a squadron to defend such a large stall, so he replaced the original plan with the Battlestar project.

But now the construction of the Battlestars has just begun, and even if the Watson family is a bunch of crazy people, it is impossible to build these Battlestars in a short period of time, it will take time.

Of course, there is also a reason that after a detailed discussion with Althea, the starship transformation plan was rejected by Althea, because these transformation plans or transformation ideas proposed by Li Yi were as whimsical as the original transformation of Li Yi's brand fighters.

A fighter plane is better, all the experts of the entire scientific research institute gather together to demonstrate that they can come up with a feasible plan, even so, in the end, it will take Li Yi to risk the consequences of the plane crash and the death of people to continue to test flights before it finally takes shape, but if it is a starship, it will be much more difficult, it is not a few experts and scholars at all, and it is not something that can be solved by just getting a model out for a few days of test flight.

This is also the reason why Li Yi has been being a shopkeeper recently, and he has to go to Watson Space City to steal and learn starship manufacturing.

However, although he has been working hard in the direction of starship research and manufacturing, he has gradually realized that the deeper this direction goes, the more things he has to learn, and the more restrictions he will be subjected to, which is not something that can be mastered in a short period of time.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that those complete sets of automated industrial manufacturing and processing equipment, I can't get it for a while, now Li Yi is rich and rich, but the foundation is still too weak, in the words of the old time and space, he is a nouveau riche, in fact, he has no background at all.

In short, whether it is the foundation, the construction of the Battlestar, or the formation of a combat-ready fleet, everything still needs time to slowly accumulate.

But it is impossible for artificial intelligence to give Li Yi time to slowly farm and develop, as Althea said - if nothing else, artificial intelligence will come to him for trouble immediately!

Althea's suggestion was to let Li Yi sacrifice some hue and ask Candace for help, but Althea didn't mind this matter anyway.

Candace is the combat elite of the Lehman family, a high-ranking marquis, the fleet commander of the Third Fleet of the Watson Galaxy, with tens of thousands of starships of various types in her hands.

Looking for Candace to help, Li Yi doesn't mind, but if it is at the expense of his hue, there is no need to think about it, although this matter is really operated, it is actually someone who lost his wife and soldiers, but Li Yi can't overcome the hurdle in his heart, he didn't cross over to be a duck.

Since you don't look for Candace, you can only ask the Watson family for help.

In fact, it's not helping, this resource planet originally belonged to the Watson family, which also accounted for 30% of the shares, not to mention that now the Watson family has also received Li Yi's order for the construction of Spacestar and Space City, and a large number of personnel and equipment are concentrated there, if it is not protected, if it is really scrapped by artificial intelligence, the loss of the Watson family may be greater than that of Li Yi.

In fact, there is no need for Li Yi to come forward to request, while the Watson family sent an engineering team, they also sent a large group of family private armed fleets to escort them, but there were only a hundred or so starships, and it was okay to encounter an ordinary artificial intelligence fleet, once the artificial intelligence launched a slightly larger war, this starship was not enough.

Moreover, the other people's fleet is used to protect the engineering team, as for Li Yi's space station and those mining ships, I am afraid that they will have to ask for a lot of blessings.

But it doesn't matter, Li Yi is now eager for artificial intelligence to come over, because what he is best at is picking up rags, and if he can take advantage of the chaos to pick up those engineering ships and the equipment inside as rags, then his automated industrial manufacturing equipment will be in place......
