Under Xiao Yu's manipulation, the huge starfleet changed its voyage and drove towards the strange star ten light-years away.

The importance of these 80 years of development time is self-evident to Xiao Yu. After Xiao Yu completely digests the technology he has obtained so far, Xiao Yu's combat power will increase by at least ten times.

"20,000 Mollian Civilization Ships? With them organized and prepared, I would need to expand the number of ships at least five times before I could deal with them. But...... If I make another breakthrough in the energy shield and develop a negative matter cannon that is of real combat significance, with the number of my current fleet, I will be able to deal with them. What's more, I can build a lot more new ships during this time. Everything depends on whether I can make a technological breakthrough in these 80 years! ”

During the voyage, Xiao Yu thought secretly.

It's a race against time with death.

"From now on, all scientists' vacations will be canceled, all entertainment programs will be canceled, and a state of emergency will be introduced. We are now in a race against death, and if we fail, we will all die. These 80 years have been an opportunity and a test for us. If we can win the final victory, then I promise that I will improve everyone's treatment again under the current material conditions...... From now on, everyone will fight for survival with me! ”

Xiao Yu said.

"Master, it was you who gave us a new lease of life. Scientists like us who are captured and sold as commodities usually end up miserable, and when they are bought, they are either dissected to study the structure of the brain or used as slaves. Conducting scientific research day and night, and if you are a little slow, you will be severely punished or even executed, and you don't even think about any treatment or anything like that. We are satisfied with working under you, you have not only given us material living conditions, but also given us spiritual respect. So, rest assured, for the sake of your technological development. Even if we are tired to death, we will not complain......"

"Actually, this is the custom in the universe, my mother civilization once captured scientists of other races, and their fate was to be dissected to study the structure of the brain, before coming to the master. I was terrified, but the treatment that my master gave us. More than we could have imagined. In your civilization. There seems to be a saying, it is 'the one who is a confidant dies', master, please rest assured, we are the thirty-fifth race, and we are willing to contribute all our liliang to you. ”

"We Lucca civilians don't have much to say. In short, you know the master, Lucca is civilized, and he is your most loyal subordinate. ”

More than 100 races. After Xiao Yu said those words, they expressed their loyalty.

"Since you entered my fleet, our fates have been linked, so let's fight together for our future!"

"During this year and eight months of curvature voyage, the first task is to conduct theoretical research, and after arriving in the new galaxy, I will build the relevant instruments as soon as possible for everyone to verify the theory. Also, from now on, I will prepare for the formation of a Central Academy of Sciences, with me as the president. Our current scientific research is too chaotic, and there is no clear division of various disciplines, which will cause a great waste of resources. After the establishment of the Central Academy of Sciences, I will divide each discipline in detail, so that everyone can play their liliang in their own areas of expertise. Now, everyone reports to me the research directions they are good at, and I will assign them in detail. ”

Xiao Yu said.

The reintegration of resources is imperative. Now Xiao Yu's situation is that after having a big research topic, all liliang will rush to the top, and they will not consider whether the aspect that a scientist is good at is in line with this topic. Therefore, it often happens that scientists who were originally good at biotechnology are assigned to research on high-energy particles, and scientists who were originally good at optics are assigned to research on materials technology.

This is a great waste of resources, which is very detrimental to Xiao Yu's scientific and technological development. In order to face this situation, Xiao Yucai proposed the establishment of the Central Academy of Sciences. Under the Central Academy of Sciences, there will be a very detailed division of disciplines, and even, in terms of optical telescopes alone, there are dozens of topics such as precision polishing technology, the gravitational influence of low-mass objects, and so on.

In addition to this consideration, Xiao Yu also has another plan, that is, to break the barriers between races. After the formation of the Central Academy of Sciences, the various disciplines were divided into detailed divisions, and it was certain that many scientists of different races would be assigned to a single project, and they would have to communicate and study together with scientists of other races. This will gradually dilute their racial consciousness, and eventually condense into a whole, striving for a goal, that is, for Xiao Yu's technological development.

This can further boost their loyalty.

"If this crisis can be overcome, I will start the next big construction jihua and build a national spaceship! This spaceship was built specifically for you, and at that time, you will be able to move out of the current cramped county and city spacecraft and live in a super-large spaceship with better equipment and better conditions. The first national spacecraft will be built for scientists! ”

Xiao Yu announced such a message again. After this information was announced, Xiao Yu was responded to with bursts of cheers.

At present, in Xiao Yu's fleet, there is only one race with an independent habitation spaceship, the Luka civilization. The rest of the more than 100 races, all of which live in the modified city and county spaceships. These spaceships were originally combat spaceships, and it is conceivable that the living conditions of such spaceships could not be too good. It's not that Xiao Yu doesn't want to provide them with more living conditions, it's that Xiao Yu is too busy and doesn't have enough computing power and energy to build a new place for them to live.

The construction of national-level spaceships is another piece of cake thrown by Xiao Yu in order to motivate them to work harder.

Under all kinds of incentives, these scientists are crazy one by one, and their spirits have been raised to the peak.

A month after the start of the return voyage, the preliminary formation of the Central Academy of Sciences was finally completed. Looking at the list of scientists in front of him, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"Really...... It's shabby. Xiao Yu sighed and thought.

In the human era, the peak of the second-level civilization has not yet reached the stage of the third-level civilization, and the scientific jishu has been subdivided into thousands of directions, not to mention Xiao Yu's current fourth-level civilization.

In fact, after more than 10,000 years of development, Xiao Yu's scientific jishu has been subdivided into more than 100,000 branches. But how many scientists does Xiao Yu currently have? There are fewer than 10,000.

This led to a very embarrassing phenomenon for Xiao Yu, that is, among the more than 100,000 branch research institutions under the Central Academy of Sciences, most of the research institutions were empty, and there was only one member Xiao Yu. There are also some research institutes, which only have single-digit scientists, two or three big cats and small cats.

"The number of scientists is still too small. If there is an opportunity in the future, it is necessary to replenish the number of scientists as soon as possible. The framework has been put up, and there are not enough scientists to do it. Xiao Yu thought secretly, "At present, it can only be the research of most branches, which has been carried out by me personally. ”

Moreover, the replenishment of scientists is not a simple process, and it is not something that can be stuffed into it by capturing an intelligent civilization at random. First of all, in a civilization, the number of scientists is always in the minority, and this is an industry that requires extremely high quality personnel. One of the hundred captives has the potential to become an ordinary scientist. In the future, such as the raid on the Azure Market, the captives are almost all scientists, and it is unlikely to happen again. ”

"This means that I must also establish a set of mechanisms for training and selecting scientists, and the scarcity of scientists determines that the selection of scientists requires a very large population base, preliminary calculations...... The scientists who initially set up the Central Academy of Sciences alone have a population base of at least 200 million...... With such a large population, the supply of resources, security and so on, it is another headache. ”

"It's too risky to raid high-level civilizations, so perhaps, I should consider finding a weak civilization to obtain a large number of naturally reproducing people, and then train scientists on my own. It's just that...... Since I left Earth, all the civilizations I have encountered have been stronger and weaker than me, and I have not encountered any of them except for the Beasts. I don't know if I can find a civilization that meets the requirements in every way. ”

At this time, Xiao Yu remembered the first alien civilization he encountered, the Moluton civilization. It was only now that Xiao Yu realized what a huge wasteful act he had been in slaughtering all the creatures of the Morudon civilization in the first place. But there was no way around it, and I didn't have the ability to carry so many creatures at that time.

In the midst of busy work, time slips away little by little. Xiao Yu was no longer far away from that strange star. After the distance was close to a certain level, Xiao Yu steered his fleet away from the curvature voyage and sailed towards the star in a regular voyage.

When the distance from this strange star was reduced to only 20 billion kilometers, Xiao Yu received a message from the aging ghost clan again.

"My junior, you're finally here." (To be continued......)
